I love these cookies! I can never eat just one. Or two. Ok or six LOL!


This sounds like a delicious cookie, and I like your tip about slicing as much as needed at a time! Saved, and high 5!


I love dates and cookie dough. Keeping the dough in the fridge would probably not be an option. Baking them wouldn't slow me down much either.-Lori


Another winning recipe!


Oh, love these!
