7 years ago i visited Turkey and i ate a wonderful delicious date cookies with sesame there and i started to search for the recipe and finally decided to try my own version one. I knead a simple dough and i bring some cookies spices from a lebanes store to add for my cookies, and i made mostly the same cookies i loved and search for it years.

About the filling of date paste is always available in Lebanese store, i think it is more comfortable without making all the job by peeling of the date and remove the seeds, and the result more delicious. And the Lebanese spices they called it Daqat kaak and you can make it from grinded Mix of anise seeds and fennel seeds.
