Please click on the above link to find the recipe for Date Filled Cookies. This recipe has been a family heirloom for several generations. There is no way to compute the thousand and thousands of these cookies consumed by myself and my siblings, our kids and our grandkids. This is truly one of the greatest of holiday treats, reserved almost exclusively for Christmas when I was a young land lubber. Santa may or may not have inspired us to behave, but when we heard the words, "I guess I won't be making any Date Filled Cookies this Christmas," coming from Mom, I assure you we got our minds right in short order!
