Steps

Prep time: 40-50 mins Bake tie: 20 mins

1

Add cold flour and semolina in big mixing bowl and mix well. Add ghee and mix well with finger tips till a rough dough forms. Or simply use a chopper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 mins.
2

Now remove from fridge and add remaining ingredients and mix well until a soft dough forms. Cover and keep aside.
3

Now mix dates paste along with other ingredients well. Make tiny balls of about 1 tsp.
Pre heat the oven to 200 degrees.
4

Now make a big ball of the flour dough and dig a whole in it. Put the date ball into it and roll into a ball again. Do the same with the rest doughs.
5

Make shape with the mould or use any method. Freeze for 5-7 mins. Keeping the doughs cold helps maintain their shape while baking. (punch the mould in flour first)
6

(remove the extra dough on the sides)
Now put the tray of cookies in the oven for 16-17 mins on medium rack on lower flame. Then on top flame for 3-4 mins. Remove and cool them on cooling rack.
7

Top with powdered sugar and serve and enjoy with tea, coffee or just munch it away..☺️
