DATE-FILLED OATMEAL COOKIES
Recipe came from my husband's grandmother. They are much easier to make than they sound. I have halved the recipe successfully; and I have used jam instead of the cooked dates although nothing beats the original recipe.

Tips:
- Use ripe dates: Softer, riper dates are easier to blend and provide a sweeter flavor to your cookies.
- Pit the dates before blending: Remove the pits from the dates before blending them with the oats and other ingredients. This will prevent any unpleasant texture in your cookies.
- Adjust the sweetness: If you prefer less sweet cookies, reduce the amount of maple syrup or honey in the recipe. You can also add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking helps the cookies hold their shape better and prevents them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until golden brown: The cookies are done baking when they are golden brown around the edges and slightly soft in the center. Overbaking can make them dry and crumbly.
