Wow! If you loooove dates, and you are looking for a cookie that's chock-full of these sweet, chewy members of the fruit family, then this is the cookie for you. So moist and delicious, it's hard to stop at just one! And the good news is, your overindulgence can be forgiven (slightly!) by the nutritional value inherent in the oats. The recipe comes from the back of a box of Amport chopped dates; you can use those, or for extra moistness you can buy whole dates and chop them yourself. Enjoy! Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1 cup brown sugar, packed |
1/2 cup granulated sugar |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 1/2 cups flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
3 cups quick-cooking oats |
2 cups dates, chopped |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit.
2. Cream together the softened butter and the two sugars. Add eggs and vanilla and combine well.
3. Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; add this to butter mixture, blending well. Fold in oats and dates.
4. Drop dough onto ungreased cookie sheets by heaped teaspoonful. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove cookies from baking sheet and place on racks to cool completely.
