Date Biscuits, also known as Date Cookies, are a popular snack that originated in the Middle East. They are sweet and chewy, with a nutty flavor that comes from the addition of walnuts. These biscuits are perfect for when you need a quick and satisfying snack, whether you're at home, at work, or on the go. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite nuts and spices. Plus, they are healthier than traditional biscuits or cookies, thanks to the addition of rolled oats and natural sweeteners.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Line a tray with baking paper.
2.	In a large bowl, mix together the oats, flour, walnuts and dates.
3.	In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, butter and honey until well combined.
4.	Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a sticky dough forms.
5.	Using your hands, shape the dough into small balls and place them onto the lined tray, leaving a few centimeters between each biscuit.
6.	Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
7.	Allow the biscuits to cool completely on the tray before serving or storing in an airtight container.
