When wanted a cookie you matched up 2 and put in the dates as much or as little as you wanted. Cookies didnt get mushy stayed nice and crisp. Can use oatmeal cookie mix instead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443224547796409834.post-1019734355915989982020-09-27T09:58:21.728-07:002020-09-27T09:58:21.728-07:00Thank you Deb.

She passed away 19 years ago and I expected to see the recipe in her handwritten notebook style cookbook...nope! I found many similar but none that had the orange rind and juice in the date mixture (why I didn't just experiment myself I don't know) But I am going to make these - ust need to pick up oatmeal, lol.

She rolled out the cookie dough fairly thin and cut them with assorted cutters and then filled them with date filling. Everybody loved them and misses them since she passed.C.

I have almost spur of the moment company coming tomorrow and I didn't have a thing in the house - I went to trusty Pinterest and happened upon this recipe. My grandmother used to make these for us and we loved them! Being short on time with a house to clean still I remembered the box of oatmeal cookies sitting in the cupboard that hadn't been opened and used them for a shortcut. They worked out wonderfully! The filling is exactly what my grandmother did as well - most recipes don't seem to call for it and its such a great addition. Will be using this recipe alot :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443224547796409834.post-26630745059192563152016-09-18T07:24:56.917-07:002016-09-18T07:24:56.917-07:00Thank you for sharing this.

The first thing that came to mind was the (also old-fashioned) date pinwheel cookies that my mom used to make. I've never enjoyed the process, but I'm thinking these would combine all the flavors we like without the hassle of rolling the dough!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
