Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C and prepare 2 baking trays by lining them with parchment paper.
  • Cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until pale. Incorporate the egg thoroughly. Fold in the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gently mix in the dates. Shape teaspoonfuls of the mixture into balls, then coat them with cornflakes.
