Teresa Ambra
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!

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!
