Notes
: They might be soft when they're still warm. Before taking out of the oven, make sure that the cookies are totally ready and won't need any more . Let them cool down and they will be just like regular cookies.
Dates: I used Medjool dates but any other will work as well. Just make sure to soak other types before to make them softer.
: You can add more if you'd like it to be more like a regular and less caramelly.
spice mix: If you don't have it, add 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp , 1/8 tsp cloves, 1/8 tsp allspice, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 cardamom (optional).
