Date Filled Cookies

These are the finished product and they tasted just like I remember them. Although Mom didn't make these exclusively at Christmas time, she did quite frequently. Alternately she'd sometimes fill them with raspberry jam instead of dates. Those were tasty treats as well.

Date Filled Cookies

Stopped by Mom's today. She said she was craving date filled cookies. I asked if she was talking about the same ones she made when we were kids. She said yes. I remember them mostly from the 70s, 80s and even 90s. She planned on making some the next day and told me she bring some for me during her visit to my school later on in the week.
