  1. These cookies are delicious. They are crisp, tender, buttery and oh so flavorful. I loved the date filling, it was sweet, smooth and tangy. They are definitely worth the extra effort. Thanks for sharing a recipe that I will be making again.
     
  2. Great tasting cookies.

I am no where close to the Professional Chefs, but I turn out some very good stuff, and some concockions not fit for consumption when I experiment. Overall I love to cook, bake, and the BBQ .
