Step 1

Place all the ingredients in a bowl and knead very well with your hand. You can also use a cake stand mixer, using a flat cake attachment or dough attachment. Mix slowly until they are well incorporated together. Cover and let the dough rest for 2 hours. While you wait for the dough to rest, prepare the filling by mixing the ingredients together.

Step 2

Once the time is up, form the dough into ball portions and cover them to prevent drying.

Step 3

Press a piece of the dough into a flat shape, then add a tablespoon of date filling in the middle and wrap the dough around it to cover the filling completely.

Step 4

Press the ball shaped dough well into the mold and the tap the mold on the counter so it falls out.

Step 5

Once that part is done, lay the pieces on a sheet pan with parchment paper or a non-stick pan until you finish the rest of the balls.

Step 6

Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 20 minutes.

Step 7

Store in an air tight container.
