Date Drop Cookies

Diana Rattray
A delicious date filling in these tasty cookies. Instead of margarine, I used half shortening and half butter in this recipe (4 tablespoons of each).

  • 1 package (8 ounces) dates, cut up
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Preparation:

Bring dates, water, and sugar to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until dates are thickened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Cream butter and sugar; stir in egg, water, vanilla, flour, baking soda and salt. Drop cookie dough by teaspoonfuls onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Place about 1/2 teaspoon of date mixture on the top of each cookie, then a small dab of cookie dough on top of the date mixture. Bake at 350° for 10 to 12 minutes.
