These are excellent cookies!! The brown sugar and butter flavors really come through, and the date filling and chopped nuts kick them up a notch! Plus, they have a different look/shape than most other cookies--and are really nice on a cookie tray! I scaled the recipe down to 24 cookies; and used whole wheat pastry flour in place of the all-purpose flour, and walnuts for the nuts. For the date filling (for 24 cookies), I used 1/2 cup of Recipe #323144 (which I've also reviewed). And we were out of confectioner's sugar--so I had to leave it off (the cookies still looked and tasted great)--but they would probably be very pretty with it (next time!) Also, next time, I'll make sure that the narrow well for the date filling isn't too deep (I made it a bit too deep this time, which created a weak spot in the center of the cookies--allowing some of them to break in half). These cookies are so pretty, so unique, and so tasty; I look forward to making them again! Thanks for a great recipe, Sue L!! (Tagged, made, and reviewed for Bargain Basement Game.)
