These cookies were so easy to make, and they turned out perfect! The cookies were soft and chewy, and the dates and nuts added a nice sweetness. I'll definitely be making these again.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. The cookies were soft and chewy, and the dates and nuts added a nice crunch. I would definitely make these again, but I would use less sugar next time.
