Oh, I made these today and this is now one of our favorite cookies. So good. They are indeed crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. We prefer a cookie that is not overly sweet so based on some excellent comments, I reduced the amount of both sugars a bit and the cookies have just the right sweetness for us. Thank you for sharing this delightful recipe.

Really good cookies came out great with a little crisp on the edges and soft and chewy in the center. The sugar level was just right for my husband but a little too sweet for me. Next time I’ll try without the white sugar, but hope it won’t lose the crispness.

Easy to make and the low temperature makes them perfect. I will be making them again. I added pecans and cherries to these, and they are great.

These are our favorite cookies! I omit the honey and add in probably about 1/2-2/3 cup of peanut butter. I’m also quite liberal with the dates and pecans and add some chocolate chips. This is the perfect everything cookie!

This cookie is a keeper! Baked beautifully! Delicious tender cookie with delicate, sweet, nutty flavor. Perfect with coffee or an ice cold glass of milk. Adapted recipe as follows, only because we are diabetic: substituted 1/4 Cup Splenda & 1/2 Splenda brown sugar for regular white & brown sugar & subbed Agave for Honey.

I just made these and they are delicious! I did omit the nuts as I’m not a fan of nuts in anything. The dates add the right amount of sweetness. Great with a cup of coffee. They’re going in my Christmas cookie trays! Definitely a keeper!

This cookie is PHENOMENAL!! Omgsh it’s so GOOD! Now a new favorite! Although I subbed quite a bit so I’m not sure if I made a whole new recipe but based on yours so kudos to you girl!

I cut the recipe in half, then baked half and froze the other half of the raw dough.

Used half all purpose flour and half whole wheat flour. Added 1 tsp cinnamon and 1tsp nutmeg. Then subbed white sugar for lankanto golden monk fruit instead! It’s my new favorite! So delicious!!!

I forgot to add that I used dark brown sugar. Adds a touch of richness like a bit of molasses would.

Thank you!! . This turned out well. Add walnuts instead of pecans

My favorite cookies of all time – as of this morning. I also omitted the white sugar, and probably went a little generous with the dates, and they were perfect. Love the texture with the balance of oats to flour just right. I made them in my 2 T. cookie scoop (23 cookies) and baked for 23 minutes. Perfect.
