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.

If you don't have brown sugar, you can use granulated sugar instead.
Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
If you want a chewier cookie, bake them for 12-14 minutes. For a crispier cookie, bake them for 15-17 minutes.
