the cookies were very easy to make and were very tasty. I would recommend this recipe to anyone who loves dates and oatmeal cookies.

These cookies are easy to make. I found them very tricky to get baked right. They tend to get too done on the bottom while remaining doughy in the middle. I tried lowering the oven temp and baking longer, and also making smaller cookies -- with no better results. I "rescued" the cookies by using a grater to remove the overdone bottoms. The cookies are a bit bland, fair for oatmeal cookies. The dates are a nice variation and add a pleasant flavor, but I have to give these cookies only a 2.

These cookies are awesome. I used butter instead of crisco, and pecans instead of walnuts and this turned out really good. Very unique and easy to make.

This is an excellent recipe, in my opinion. I made it exactly as written, except I used pecans instead of walnuts. I was looking for a recipe to use up some extra dates I had in the freezer, and these cookies were just perfect. Thanks for sharing!

I cut the recipe in half and used 1 extra large egg, so my cookies came out crispy which is fine because I like crispy cookies. A few of them had a slightly soft center but for the most part they were crispy. I may try to make the recipe just the way it says because I do like a soft date cookie as well. These were sweet enough for me. Would make them again.

I made these this afternoon. They are definitely soft, in fact, in texture more like cake. I attribute this to the three eggs. If I make this recipe again (and I might, the taste is excellent!) I'd make it with two eggs only. (I also used all brown sugar, but that was by accident!) Be very careful with the time--I cut it down to 7 minutes so the cookies wouldn't be golden brown, but lightly browned and done all the way through (this was at 375).

I love these cookies. I had a very large bag of fresh dates, and searched for a new recipe to try. These are very soft and taste great. Easy to prepare, and well worth trying. I put half the batch in the freezer, and they even taste great straight out of the freezer. I will make these again!

I followed the recipe exactly, except I lowered the oven temperature by 5 degrees F. to compensate for our new faster cooking oven. They "almost" burned on the bottom and did not really brown as well on top as I would like. Stick to the 8 minutes! They were so soft, sweet and yummy that I will make them again and add to my favorite recipes.

These were sooo good! I had to sub 3/4 cup of butter for the shortening and pecans for walnuts but these cookies were awesome. I will definately make these again.

Loved this recipe! I added 1 teaspoon cinnamon and increased nuts to 1 cup to suit our tastes. Just wish these cookies were low-cal because I can't stop eating them.

These cookies have a very soft texture. I used 1 1/2 cups of dates instead of 1 cup. The cookies are a bit bland, but I'm not quite sure what they need. My friends thought they were great, however. The next time I make date cookies I'll try another recipe.

This is a delicious cookie recipe. I've made these cookies twice in the last two weeks because they disappear so quickly. The only change I made was to add an additional half cup of dates. We're date lovers and the extra helping made them extra soft and delicious.

As I'm getting ready to make a triple batch of this for Christmas, I figured I ought to rate it! I downloaded this a couple years ago, and have been using it ever since. My mom doesn't want any other kind of cookie! She doesn't like chocolate so it makes it hard to find something she likes. The recipe is very easy to make, the cookies freeze well. And they are very, very tasty! The dates make it a nicer cookie than raisins, which can be a little tart or bitter sometimes. Great just out of the oven or a couple days later, these are a permanent addition to my recipe box.
