While these cookies are a Christmas staple in our family and Christmas wouldn't be the same without these tasty cookies, I have recently decided that these are my favorite cookies EVER! I love them so much, they are sweet but not to sweet, they have a little hit of salty and if cut a little thicker are chewy and delightful! The cookies are good fresh or dipped in hot chocolate or coffee when they get stale. You might wonder how yummy cookies could get stale? Grandma loved to make tons of cookies at Christmas time and then put them in Tupperware and then poke them in the closet and not let anyone eat any.

After chopping up dates toss them with some of the flour to stop them from sticking together.
