About This Recipe

Brown butter caramelized dates are the heart of these cookies, melting into pockets of rich, jammy sweetness with notes of butterscotch and toffee. Paired with chunks of date-sweetened Earl Grey dark chocolate and flaky sea salt, they deliver all the indulgence of a bakery-style cookie—without a pinch of refined sugar. 

Ingredients
Serving Size: 12
1/2

cup unsalted butter
5

Medjool dates, pitted and halved
1

teaspoon vanilla extract
3

tablespoons date syrup
1

large egg
1

cup all-purpose flour
½

teaspoon baking soda
½

teaspoon salt
2

Spring & Mulberry Earl Grey Date-Sweetened Chocolate Bars, roughly chopped

Flaky sea salt, for finishing
Directions
  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking, whisking frequently, until the butter foams and the milk solids turn golden brown and smell nutty, about 3–5 minutes. Add the halved dates and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until the dates are soft and lightly caramelized. Transfer the dates to a cutting board and pour the browned butter into a heatproof bowl. Let the butter cool completely.
  2. Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop the caramelized dates. Chop the Earl Grey chocolate into chunky pieces.
  3. Heat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, date syrup, and vanilla. Slowly whisk in the cooled browned butter until smooth and glossy.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Gently stir in the chopped caramelized dates, and chopped Earl Grey chocolate.
  7. Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between cookies. Bake for 8–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look slightly soft.
  8. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt while the cookies are still warm. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
