How To Make Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies With Dates | From The Test Kitchen | Bon Appétit

[@kingofpancakes1278]

yo she’s really good at explaining everything and has good on camera presence. i don’t feel nearly as strongly about the new cast as some people but some of them either try too hard to be funny or seem nervous. she seems like she’s got it figured out. bring her back soon, ba!

[@David-nl3il]

Yeah, I like how she explains how the ingredients interact with the overall taste. Very good

[@bradr9581]

Totally, I just looked her up because I wanted to see more of what she's doing

[@GregCurtin45]

Thank you Zaynab for the great recipe. Sincerely appreciate the intricate details about chilling the dough for a few days and how baking at 375 is better for this specific type of cookie. The best videos always have a great teacher who answers the questions before the viewer can think of them. 🍪

[@ideamissing]

i've never heard of using olive oil and tahini to make chocolate cookies, this was really interesting! i hope Zaynab will be back to show us more recipes like this

[@erandre626]

Zaynab is so knowledgeable and charismatic! What a lovely addition to BA

[@BakingByBrandon]

This video was great! Zaynab is a natural, some people who r new to being on camera seem very scared and or reserved, but Zaynab is very chill, relaxed, and explains everything effortlessly 😁

[@henadin5852]

I made these cookies and replaced AP flour with almond flour and I reduced the amount of white sugar (only 1/4 cup) and they came out soooo good!!!!! They do come out as soft cookies rather than crunchy but I liked that. They have a nutty flavor and so yummy sweet and salty. Thank you

[@joshfarrell6842]

I like Zaynab, More Zaynab pls

[@BakingByBrandon]

Wait I loved how all the newer people came together to try Zaynabs cookies, this reminds me of the good ole days!

[@Ismeen]

The flow of terminology!! These look delicious. So glad my sister sent me the link to this, Zaynab is lovely.

[@GoSpringboksGo]

I really liked her precise yet informative way of instructing!

[@mitchellblakejohnson]

Made these for Easter dinner and they were a smash hit! Thanks BA! Makes sure u pay Zaynab a lot!!! I love her!

[@zaynabissa1076]

So glad you liked them!!

[@CopperPudding]

I already love dates but the ingredient swaps and bits of info and advice make me really want to try this cookie 😭 It sounds like the cookie to end all cookies for me.

[@tanakability]

Great Video. I’m making these

[@balletshark0101]

loved this vid!

[@mlwfishingman4472]

Hello Cookies look good 👍

[@presidentanp]

Delicious!

[@christinaastreha]

This was a great recipe, but, in terms of emphasizing the softness and crispness the cookies combine, can they really guarantee they'll stay like this even after 1-2 days? Won't they become either soggy or dry? Again, no hate.. Just curious..

[@feathercookie]

I made these cookies this week and 4 days later the cookies were still chewy and not dry.

[@saraatppkdotpt8140]

Great video 😊

[@davidorourkesr]

Yummy wow

[@natalieroldan5272]

[@snagh]

Well done Sara

[@auj012]

a dairy free chocolate chip recipe finally.

[@abouttime837]

I thought dates were dried like raisins? you can definitely get “fresh” dates that are more plump and crisp. They tend to have tannins though which are removed through drying

[@ryanledoux366]

Dates are dried, you’re right. Fresh dates look completely different

[@hanineee]

If i can't find tahini, can't it be skip or substitute with something else?

[@Farahfoodie]

You can use any nutbutter you like

[@mayshengl]

what can i substitute tahini with?

[@Farahfoodie]

You can use any nutbutter you like

[@stevierubalcava5924]

Hachii Machiiiii 👀 Zaynab is gorgeous 😁😀

[@dobrawacwiertnia1262]

Can i skip white sugar? I am worried it is gona be too sweet

[@themustardseedsociety4028]

Hi! Love this recipe! If I don’t have tahini is there anything else I can do to swap it?

[@MrDewenBean]

Natural smooth peanut butter cut with some water probably

[@ranzu8732]

To everyone who will see this video, kjkho is the first to comment, we should give him a medal.

Any tips for making this recipe gluten free?

[@CookingMuseum]

Very nice

[@saadalishaikh8300]

I want cookies 🍪

[@missmethodical]

I made these with reduced sugar and darker chocolate. They puffed up in the oven instead of spreading like Zaynab's; and were browner on the underside and edges. Date flavor was nearly non-existent. Any idea where I went wrong? My dough appeared smoother than Zaynab's coming out of the fridge.

[@lenninaltunay2872]

yeah i made these, same thing. really like the tahin and olive oil flavor. But there is already a lot of sugar in these, on top of adding dates, makes them way too sweet. It is better to just leave the dates out since they dont bring a lot of flavor anyways.

[@rohlehr]

Same here! They were not flat. I was disappointed :(

[@skybluehero832]

Great video, but please, please, please can you also give the temperature in Celsius. The entire world outside of the USA uses Celsius.

[@rohlehr]

These are tasty but the dough didn't come together properly for me; anyone else have that experience? It was crumbly as if lacking moisture when I tried to stir in dry ingredients with a spoon. When I saw this was a challenge I used my stand mixer, which made it come together but also released a ton of oil, making the dough oily. Additionally, they did not flatten out the way Zaynab's did. Maybe this will happen after sitting overnight?

[@gab.lab.martins]

Contrary to what she said, those dates *are* dried. Fresh dates are green.

[@alexcan669]

I really wanted to see brad or Morocco tasting the cookies

[@Giggoer1998]

Hey BA please can you do another making perfect, here’s a list of ideas I’m making up as I write this: Burgers, A brunch, Lasagne and tacos… just please please please

Where have you been?

[@JoshKeatonFan]

So is this channel trying to be Munchies?

[@P3rvenc]

What the actual heck, who puts salt like that in a cookie, so much salt, is it a pizza or a cookie? :P

[@souleysuli]

dates are really sweet so when adding it especially in the dough also it’s going to be really sweet + the amount of sugar you use for cookies and so you need a good amount of salt to balance it

[@axioms22]

Gonna make these except dates I'm not gonna use any dates because they are gross

[@asma-mushtaq]

gross to _you_
