This recipe was inspired by a cooking show I saw a few weeks ago. I watched as they made date cookies but I never thought I'd actually make them. After all, I've never made anything with dates before. 
But in the store that week, a box of dates caught my eye and I thought, "Oh, why not try something new?" (And surprisingly, dates aren't that expensive! I got an 8 oz. box for about $1.50 and they're found near the raisins.) So here is this recipe for Chewy Oatmeal Date Cookies. I hope you like them!!
