Sugar-Free Date Cookies - whole wheat flour

Method

• Make the dough.
• Combine the flours, salt, canola oil and water in a bowl and mix until the dough comes together into a ball.
• Wrap in cling film and leave to rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Blend the dried fruit into a paste in the food mill (it's easiest if you add a little water).
• For those of you with a little more willpower, you could try finely chopping the dried fruit with a knife, but you'll probably get tired.
• Split the dough into 3 equal portions and spread 1/3 of the paste over each.
• Preheat the oven to 180C.
• Roll the dough up, while keeping the edges tidy, into a tight roll.
• Slice the roll at 3-4 cm intervals.
• Re-adjust the shape of the cookies with your hands and line up on a baking tray.
• Repeat Steps 4-5 with the remaining dough.
• Bake the cookies at 180C for 20-30 minutes.
• You may need to adjust the cooking time depending on the cookies' size.
• If you turn the cookies over once during baking, they should cook through evenly.
