Grandpa Cookies (Date Perishky) image

I used raspberry gelatin in this recipe and the flavor was delicious. I loved the date filling. I can see why Grandpa started making them in October. Not sure how that would work for me... I might have them all eaten by Christmas. I kept going back to sneak a cookie and the flavors were better every time!

2 c sugar

  • 8. To Prepare Date Filling:

I had some trouble finding dates at my local grocery store, but I was able to find them online. The cookies turned out great and were definitely worth the effort.

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

I'm not usually a fan of date cookies, but these were surprisingly delicious! The dates were soft and chewy, and the dough was perfectly spiced. I'll definitely be making these again.
