These cookies are a great way to use up leftover dates. I always have a few dates left over from holiday baking, and these cookies are the perfect way to use them up.

I added a little bit of cinnamon and nutmeg to the dough. It gave the cookies a really nice warm flavor.

I'm not a big fan of dates, but I really liked these cookies. The dates are chopped up so finely that they just add a hint of sweetness and chewiness.
