Double Date Delight Oatmeal Cookies

"Wow! If you loooove dates, and you are looking for a cookie that's chock-full of these sweet, chewy members of the fruit family, then this is the cookie for you. So moist and delicious, it's hard to stop at just one! And the good news is, your overindulgence can be forgiven (slightly!) by the nutritional value inherent in the oats. The recipe comes from the back of a box of Amport chopped dates; you can use those, or for extra moistness you can buy whole dates and chop them yourself. Enjoy!"

  1. I did do my own date chopping & used the Medjool variety! Also used some brown sugar that I put together myself (I've been going nuts with that kind of thing lately!) & have to admit that these are some of the best tasting date cookies I've ever had! Definitely a keeper of a recipe, & I'll have these on my counter a lot during the up-coming winter holidays! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted orphans in the current Pick A Chef]

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Englewood, NJ but work (and eat!) in NYC, so I guess technically I'm still a city girl : ) I work at a major children's charity in New York, as the chief fundraiser for a well-respected national program. What do I do for fun? When would I have time for that? ; ) Well, I cook, of course, and I enjoy scouting the greenmarkets in NYC for fresh produce and other intriguing ingredients for my culinary creations. I have a cat who keeps me on my toes (!) plus a new condo that always need to need something done to it (!!!). I love to travel, and I love to try out new cuisines, so I try to combine those two pleasures as much as possible. I'd love to find some cooking/eating partners to share my adventures. And if you're vegetarian, vegan, or at least veg friendly--all the better : ) ! My favorite cookbooks would have to be anything by Molly Katzen, How It All Vegan and La Dolce Vegan by Sarah Kramer, The Joy of Cooking (the trusted authority!), and Savoring the Spice Coast of India by Maya Kaimal (the most amazing, traditional Indian recipes around). My passions? Food (of course!), travel, art and literature, film (especially indie/foreign), music, animals, and having deep, stimulating conversations with good friends. Pet peeves? Home repairs that don't work and contractors who do likewise!!!! (Can you tell I just moved?)
