Submitted By: Johni Hucke

Ingredients

  • 2 sticks butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 (16 oz.) pkg. dates, chopped or run through a grinder with coarse blade
  • 3 cups quick oats
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon

    • Instructions


    Soften butter in microwave, then cream with both sugars. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add chopped dates and mix well.
    In another bowl, combine
    oats, flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Add to butter mixture and stir well. Drop by rounded teaspoonful onto an ungreased cookie sheet. If
    the dough is stiff, use the spoon to flatten the cookie as these cookies do not “spread” much. Bake at 350° for 9 to 11 minutes or until brown. Yields 3 to 4 dozen.
