These fantastic oatmeal cookies are loaded with cinnamon and dates. They truly are doubly delicious. Great for tailgating parties and holiday baking, especially Christmas Cookie Exchanges. Better than Oatmeal Raisin cookies!
Mix butter, sugars, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon and baking soda in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until well combined.
Stir in flour, oatmeal and dates with a wooden spoon and stir well to combine.
With a ¼ cup cookie scoop, scoop dough and place on cookie sheets that have been sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake at 350° about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Rotate cookie sheets on racks every 6-8 minutes of baking time.
Cool completely.
Notes
NOTE: I made really large cookies so they took 25 minutes to bake! The original recipe calls for much smaller cookies and for these to bake about 10-12 minutes. Depending on the size of your cookie, bake until done!
