Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a non-stick baking sheet.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Stir in the chopped walnuts, dark chocolate, oats, and chopped dates until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each ball with the back of a spoon to shape the cookies.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown. The centers should still be slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your delicious starfish cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
Tips:
- For best results, ensure the butter is at room temperature before you start mixing.
- To enhance the flavor, consider toasting the walnuts lightly before adding them to the dough.
- If you prefer a less sweet cookie, you can reduce the amount of sugar and brown sugar slightly.
- To make the cookies more festive, you can shape them into starfish using a cookie cutter.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack to achieve the best texture.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain their freshness for a longer period.
- Feel free to experiment by adding other ingredients like dried cranberries or coconut flakes for additional flavor and texture.
Your starfish cookies are now ready to be enjoyed! These treats are a perfect balance of sweetness and texture, thanks to the combination of dark chocolate, dates, and walnuts. Perfect for a snack, a dessert, or even a thoughtful homemade gift, these cookies are sure to impress.
