I'm not a big fan of dates, but I thought these crackers were pretty good. The cinnamon and sugar filling helped to balance out the sweetness of the dates.

These were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add a little bit of butter to the dough next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the crackers turned out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The date filling was sweet and gooey.

I thought these were just okay. They were easy to make, but the flavor was a bit bland.

These were easy to make and turned out great! I used walnuts instead of pecans and they were still delicious.

This is a great recipe for using up leftover dates. I had a bunch of dates that were about to go bad, so I decided to try this recipe. I'm so glad I did! The crackers were delicious and the dates were the perfect addition.

This was a simple but delightful dessert! The dates and nuts gave it a nice chewy texture, and the cinnamon and sugar filling was the perfect amount of sweetness.
