The old-fashioned date rolls are the best version of any date-stuffed cookies you’ll ever taste. The crumbly exterior combined with the sweet filling is like no other.

The naturally sweet date filling makes it even better served as a treat, especially for your kids.

However, for those who aren’t huge fans of date, there’s always an option to use other types of filling.

Your family will definitely fall in love with this dessert.

How should the consistency of the butter or margarine be? Hard or soft? Thank you.

For best results, cold butter works great. However, you can always use soft butter to shorten the process.

Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Start by beating the butter and oil in a large bowl with a mixer until they’re light in color.
Add the sugar to the mixture.
Keep mixing until the sugar dissolves and disappears (scrape down the sides frequently).
Pour the water or juice over the mixture and continue beating until everything is well incorporated.
Sift the dry ingredients over the mixture after dividing them into two batches.
Keep beating until the mixture starts to form a crumbly dough.
Use your hand to bring the dough together and knead it.
Cover the dough with a sheet of plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for at least one hour.
Take the dough out of the fridge, and divide it into three even parts.
Flour your working surface lightly.
Roll out each part into a large rectangular sheet with a wooden rolling pin (about 1/8 inch thick).
Spread your desired filling (date or chocolate) over the dough sheet.
Roll up the dough into a tube (just as you would do with a cinnamon roll).
Move the dough roll to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Score lines marking where individual pieces would be (preferably one inch apart).
Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
Bake for about 30 minutes until the dough turns golden.
Take the date rolls out and let them cool completely.
Break the cookies apart and serve.
