Date-Filled Oatmeal Cookies image

Recipe came from my husband's grandmother. They are much easier to make than they sound. I have halved the recipe successfully; and I have used jam instead of the cooked dates although nothing beats the original recipe.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I was happy to find a recipe for oatmeal cookies that doesn't contain nuts.

These cookies are a great healthy alternative to traditional oatmeal cookies. They're lower in sugar and fat, but they're still just as delicious.

I'm not a big fan of dates, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The dates are not overpowering and the cookies are perfectly sweet.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover dates. I always have a few dates in my pantry and now I know what to do with them.
