how to measure flour correctly<\/a> so you\u2019re not using too little (or too much).<\/p>\nHow do you remove the pits from dates?<\/h3>\n
Before pitting a date, cut off the top brown cap if there still is one attached. To pit the date, pierce the top of the date 1\/8 to 1\/4 inch into the flesh and cut downward lengthwise. Open the date, and you should see a brown, cylindrical pit. Remove the pit and chop up the date for this recipe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

I followed the instructions exactly but the dough was far too soft and stuck to waxed paper, even after chilling it for a day. I also tried parchment with no success. (Susan, I divided the batter into sections before chilling). I ended up flouring a chilled surface and rolling the dough out like a pie crust after turning and flipping it in the flour several times. I estimate that the recipe is short at least 1\/2 cup of flour. I ended up making date cookie sandwiches because the dough was too soft to hold its shape, even with the extra flour that was incorporated with rolling it out. For those tempted to throw out the mix, there are date drop cookie recipes on the Internet that require a little more flour to be added, but are otherwise almost the same recipe. Those recipes will salvage your ingredients because they mix the dates and nuts into the batter, which is what my first log looked like.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":2,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2021-12-22","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Anita731"},"reviewBody":"This is not an easy recipe but it is delicious and time consuming.
