Date-Filled Cookies

These require time and a couple of steps, as there is a filling to cook first, and then cooky dough to make.Dough is rolled and cut out into rounds,two or three inches in diameter. Then put them together with a bottom layer,the filling and a top layer, and pinched aroud the edge. You could make them round with a little filling...

I'm not a big fan of dates, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The sweetness of the dates is perfectly balanced by the bitterness of the cocoa powder.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I used a different type of dates than the recipe called for and the cookies still turned out great. I'm sure they would be even better with the recommended dates.
