This recipe for date cookies shows me a delicious way to enjoy coffee as I am not a coffee drinker. Otherwise known as Galletas de Datil, these homemade cookies are popular Mexican sweet.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream butter and sugars, both brown and granulated, until fluffy. Add egg and mix well. Sift flour, baking soda, cinnamon and cloves together. Add them to the creamed mixture.
Add brewed coffee and chopped dates. Drop dough by tablespoons on prepared cookie sheets.
Bake for about 10 to 15 minutes. Unlike other drop cookies, date cookies will hardly turn golden brown. As usual, let them cool on baking sheets for a couple of minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. The yield depends on the size of your drops.
