Ingredients

  • 2 x 450g pkts Aunty Kath's chocolate-chip cookie dough
  • 250g pitted dates, coarsely chopped

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a 16 x 25cm slice pan with non-stick baking paper, allowing the sides to overhang. Roll out half the dough between 2 sheets of non-stick baking paper to form a 16 x 25cm rectangle. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  2. Place 1 portion of dough in the lined pan and press firmly over the base.
  3. Scatter the dates over the biscuit base. Top with the remaining dough portion and press firmly to cover the filling. Bake in oven for 25 minutes. Cover with foil and bake for a further 15-20 minutes or until the slice is cooked through. Set aside to cool in the pan before cutting into squares to serve.
