Directions
To prepare cookies:Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Puree dates in a food processor until smooth. Add barley syrup and process until combined, scraping the sides as needed. Add oil and butter and process until combined. Add egg and vanilla and process until combined, scraping the sides as needed. Scrape the mixture into a large bowl.
Whisk all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, brewer’s yeast, flaxseed, fennel, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together in a small bowl.
Bake, one sheet at a time, until the cookies are golden on the bottom, about 8 minutes. Immediately transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and let cool for 5 minutes.
To prepare glaze:Whisk confectioners' sugar, orange zest, orange juice and turmeric in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze on the cooled cookies and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup walnuts.
Equipment:
Parchment paper
To make ahead:
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Or prepare through Step 4 and freeze the formed cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet until solid. Once solid, transfer the cookies to a resealable plastic bag and freeze for up to 1 month. Before baking, thaw on the baking sheet in the refrigerator overnight or let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Tips:
Barley malt syrup, made from sprouted barley and water, is traditionally used as a sweetener in breads. Honey or molasses can be used instead but will give a less toasty flavor.
Brewer’s yeastis a key (nonalcoholic) ingredient in beer-making. It can also be used in baking to add protein, B vitamins and essential minerals, as well as a hint of beer-like bitterness. Find it in natural-foods stores or online.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
