Grandpa Cookies (Date Perishky) image

I used raspberry gelatin in this recipe and the flavor was delicious. I loved the date filling. I can see why Grandpa started making them in October. Not sure how that would work for me... I might have them all eaten by Christmas. I kept going back to sneak a cookie and the flavors were better every time!

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 c sugar
1 1/2 c honey

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • 3. Mix well, should form soft dough. Cover and let rest for 1 hour or overnight.
  • 4. Roll out thin and cut with a 2" circular cookie cutter.
  • 5. Put 1 teaspoon filling mix* in middle of circle. Moisten edges and fold over as if making a perogy and seal firmly.

  • 7. Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes or until done. Let cool and ice top with white icing.
  • 8. To Prepare Date Filling:
  • 9. In a saucepan, combine dates, apples and water. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Cool completely.

These cookies are a lot of work to make. I don't think they're worth the effort.

I found these cookies to be a bit dry. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

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

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover dates. I always have a few dates in my pantry and these cookies are a great way to use them up.
