Cooking

First, mix flour with melted butter. The end result should be a crumb-like consistency.
After that, you will need to add sugar and an egg to the mass. The resulting dough is wrapped with cling film and placed in the refrigerator. There the mass should be within one hour.
For the next step, we need parchment paper. We put the dough on one sheet, and cover it with the second. We begin to roll out the mass. The result should be a thin layer of dough. Then remove the top sheet.
Roll out the date paste in the same way. After the dates have turned into a thin sheet, we transfer them to the rolled out dough. And you can cook date paste as follows. It is enough to separate the dates from the pits, place them in a double boiler for fifteen minutes, after which you will need to beat the pulp thoroughly in a blender. Everything is very simple. The finished paste will have a puree-like consistency.
The bottom parchment sheet is useful to us to create a roll. Carefully lift it up from one stolon and gradually twist the dough and dates. We send the roll to the refrigerator for one hour.
We take it out after the specified time and cut it into small slices. Their thickness should be approximately five to seven millimeters (see photo). Lay them out on a baking sheet with parchment paper. It is advisable to preheat the oven to one hundred and eighty degrees in advance, and place a baking sheet in it. Bake cookies for ten to fifteen minutes. The next thing to do is to get the finished treat and wait until it cools down.
So we prepared Lebanese cookies with Mamoul dates according to a simple step-by-step photo recipe. Such pastries will not leave indifferent any sweet tooth. Serve with aromatic tea or coffee. Bon appetit!
