Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 stick unsalted butter (114 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons date syrup (36 grams)
  • cup light brown sugar, tightly packed (130 grams)
  • cup granulated sugar (70 grams)
  • 1 large egg room, temperature
  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 170 grams all-purpose flour** (1 ⅓ cup)
  • 40 grams whole wheat flour, preferably KA organic** (⅓ cup)
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups chocolate chips
  • ½ cup cup walnut pieces optional

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in the microwave using 50% power. Let cool completely, then put in the mixing bowl.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, date syrup, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Stir well, then stir in the egg and vanilla extract.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add to the date syrup mixture and stir until blended, then stir in the chocolate chips (and walnuts, if using).
  • Using a (generously scooped!) medium cookie scoop or a heaping tablespoon, drop mounds of dough onto a plate lined with plastic wrap. Cover and chill the mounds for 1 hour or until ready to bake. Chilling overnight makes the cookies even better.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes at 350 degrees F. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. And here's the difficult part. Let the cookies cool completely. For some reason, these are better once they've cooled and set.
  • Note: It’s important to weigh the flour to get 220 grams. If you don’t have a scale, stir the flour and spoon it into the cup.

Notes

Note: It’s important to weigh the flour to get 220 grams total. I put the volume measurements in as well, but I go by weights so I put those first.
You can substitute all-purpose flour for the whole wheat.  Use a total of 1 ⅔ cup (220 grams) AP and add 1 teaspoon or cornstarch.
