First sieve all the above listed powders (dry ingredients) together in a bowl.

 

Take a mixing bowl, add softened butter (room temperature butter), dates syrup, brown sugar and mix them till fluffy. I used a hand mixer.

 

Now add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in batches and mix nicely. Mix until they feel like little crumbs. Now gather the mixture in your hands and knead them together to form a ball. If the mixture is too dry and unable to form a ball, then add 2-3 Tbsp of water and mix to make a smooth ball. Cover it with plastic wrap and let it rest in refrigerator for an hour.

 

After 1 hr, remove the ball from the fridge and roll it out to ¼ inch thick using rolling pins. For convenience, you can make multiple small balls and roll them. Cut them into desired shapes using a cookie cutter.

 

Line the sheet pan with butter paper or grease with butter and then place the cookies with ½ inch gap in between them. Bake them in a pre-heated oven at 350 F for 10-12 mins (depends on the size of your cookies). Check at regular intervals.

 

Remove and let them get cooled in cooling rack. Cookies will become firm only after cooling. Once they are cooled, you can start your icing. Since I did not have time, I used store bought icing.

 

Store in air tight container and enjoy.
