These require time and a couple of steps, as there is a filling to cook first, and then cooky dough to make.Dough is rolled and cut out into rounds,two or three inches in diameter. Then put them together with a bottom layer,the filling and a top layer, and pinched aroud the edge. You could make them round with a little filling...

I've tried many date cookie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are soft and chewy, and the date filling is perfectly sweet and gooey.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the walnuts in the filling with chopped dried cranberries. The cookies were still delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly and the cookies came out flat and dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I tried making these cookies last night and they turned out great! The dough was a little sticky, but I just added a little more flour and it was fine. The cookies were perfectly golden brown and the date filling was amazing.
