01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two baking sheets. In a small saucepan, bring the dates and water to a gentle simmer. Stir in the baking soda and keep it simmering until most of the water has cooked off and the mixture thickens a bit.

Step 2
In a mixing bowl, cream together the brown sugar and butter until smooth and fluffy. Add the date mixture, then beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Gradually fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt until everything is just combined.

Step 3
Drop spoonfuls of dough about two inches apart onto your prepared baking sheets. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the edges turn a nice golden brown.

Step 4
While the cookies are baking, make the toffee sauce by combining heavy cream, butter, and brown sugar in a small pot. Bring it to a boil and let it cook for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly so it doesn’t burn. Take it off the heat and stir in the vanilla.

Step 5
Once the cookies have cooled a bit, drizzle the warm toffee sauce over the top and enjoy!
