Soak dates in water for 4 hours and then de-seed and make a paste of it.

In a bowl mix dates puree , brown sugar and ghee and beat them all together.

Now gradually add all spices, cinnamon, cloves and ginger with vanilla essence and mix well.

In a sieve add wholewheat flour, baking soda, salt and sieve gradually and keep mixing it with the dates mixture.

If its too dry to mix , knead together using 1 tbsp of milk. I use hands to mix them well but do not over knead them.

Now wrap it in a cling wrap and keep in refrigerator for at least an hour.

Next take it out and put the oven on preheat for 10 min at 180 degrees. Meanwhile take a baking paper and keep the dough in between two sheet and with a rolling pin roll them up atleast 1/2 inch thick.

Use the cookie man cookie cutter to cut them into shape and transfer to an already greased baking tray.

Bake these for 15 mins and then let them cool in the oven. Later take it out and let further cool.

Now for icing melt the white chocolate and add 1/2 tsp of milk and mix well. Pour this in a piping bag and use this to put the icing as per choice. As it dries it hardens. Store it in an air tight container in a cool place, I generally store in refrigerator.
