Overall, I thought these cookies were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't amazing either.

I had a hard time finding dates at my local grocery store. I ended up ordering them online.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover dates. I had a bag of dates that was about to go bad, so I decided to make these cookies. They turned out great!

I'm not a huge fan of dates, but these cookies were still really good. The sweetness of the dates was balanced out by the other ingredients.
