Instructions
1
Cream the softened butter and brown sugar together in a bowl until pale and smooth, about 2 minutes by hand.
2
Beat in the egg yolk and ground cardamom until fully combined.
3
Fold in the all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt until a soft dough forms.
4
Fold in the chopped dates and walnuts, distributing them evenly through the dough.
5
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll into balls, then flatten slightly on a lined baking sheet, spacing them apart.
6
Bake at 175°C (350°F) for 11-13 minutes until the edges are golden and the centres look just set.
7
Cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
