Naturally Sweet: Date Syrup Cookies

I was feeling like making cookies and had some date syrup lying around, so I thought, why not? So I decided to whip up a batch of cookies with this deliciously sweet natural syrup. From mixing the dough to the final golden-brown bake, I'll show you how easy and tasty it is to use date syrup in your baking. Check out the full video for the recipe and some baking tips. Let's get baking!

Ingredients
100 gr. butter, softened
150 gr. date syrup
1 egg
200 gr. flour
1 tsp. ground cinnamon (or a bit more if desired)
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
80 gr. chopped chocolate

Instructions
-Beat the softened butter with the date syrup until the mixture becomes lighter in color and fluffy.
-Add the egg and ground cinnamon to the mixture and beat for about 30 seconds until well combined.
-In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined to form a dough. Be careful not to overmix to prevent the butter from melting.
-Fold in the chopped chocolate until evenly distributed.
-Using an ice cream scoop, place dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart. Slightly flatten each dough ball with your hand or a spoon.
-Refrigerate the baking sheet with the dough balls for 15-20 minutes to firm up the dough.
-Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
-Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
