There are several recipes in this collection for date cookies. Here's an easy one that turned out to be a good recipe. It was easy to make, and I like the hint of cinnamon in the cookie. I've included pictures of the unbaked as well as the baked cookies. This recipe was from Beulah Green, Mom's good friend from the time she married my dad. They were in "club" togethe and undoubtedly shared many recipes. There's another recipe from the newspaper that's nearly identical, but I'll leave both of them in. (Notice the cool silicone mat that I baked the cookies on. This, as well as a larger one for rolling out dough, was a birthday gift from Coray, Mindy & family. I love it!)DATE FILLED COOKIES
