Results
Up until I made these cookies I would have said, "Dates. Ewww!" I had never tried them because I didn't THINK I liked them. They looked too much like raisens. For the sake of this project, though, I thought I'd try out these cookies. They smelled wonderful! And guess what? They tasted WONDERFUL! Yummy! What have I been missing all these years?
Let me know if you try these out.

ReplyDeleteI went to Palm Springs last year and toured a date farm and tried dates for the first time. They are an amazing sweetener, and really great to bake with for people that are trying to eat healthier. These cookies seem like they would be good with dried cranberries, too. They look so good!
ReplyDeleteMy mom used to make date nut pinwheels at christmas time. They were always one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteThese look really good. I'll bet you're having fun with this project. You're in my prayers.
Love, Rhonda
I love dates. These cookies sound yummy! My Aunt Carol makes a date pinwheel cookie too. So, so good!
ReplyDeleteI purchased some dates without any clue what I was going to do with them. You just solved that dilema.
