Delightfully sweet, super quick to mix up and made with all-natural ingredients – most of which you probably already have in your pantry at home. I’ve opted to make them dairy free by using a vegan butter substitute, but dairy butter also works perfectly in this recipe. Just pure, old-fashioned goodness in every bite!

This recipe has special meaning to me. It is the last recipe I got from our Aunt before she unexpectedly passed away. It is a recipe that our mom and our aunt's grandma used to make for them growing up. It does have "old fashioned" written all over it. Almost a date square in cookie form, if you will. The hint of orange is subtle but really elevates these simple cookies to another level. When I make these now I always think of our aunt. I hope you give them a try and let us know what you think. Old Fashioned Date Filled Oatmeal Cookies Ingredients Date Filling 1 lb chopped dates 1 cup cold water 4 Tbsp brown sugar 4 Tbsp orange juice 2 tsp lemon juice grated rind of 1/2 an orange Cookies 1 cup butter, room temp 1 cup brown sugar 2 cups rolled oats (not quick oats) 2 cups flour 1 tsp baking soda pinch salt 1/4 cup boiling water 1 tsp vanilla Directions Prepare date filling - In a medium saucepan, combine dates, cold water, brown sugar, orange juice, lemon juice, and orange rind. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until thick and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool while you make cookies. Prepare cookies - Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. Preheat oven to 375. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until smooth, scraping sides of bowl as needed. Stir in rolled oats. Next, stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. Add in the boiling water and vanilla and stir until well combined. Dough will be crumbly but stick together when you press it in your hand. Scoop onto prepared cookie sheet and press with a fork (or the palm of your hand) to flatten slightly. Bake at 375 until lightly golden brown, about 10 - 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool on cookie sheet for about 5 - 8 minutes before removing to wire rack to cool completely. When cool you can sandwich the cookies together with the cooled date filling. Flip over half of the cookies so the bottom is facing up. Scoop a generous amount of date filling onto the flipped cookies. Top with another cookie - bottom of that cookie facing down to touch the filling. Gently squish them together. Continue until all the cookie are used up. You can make them as small or as big as you like, just keep in mind that with that lovely date center they are very rich and filling. I believe I used my medium cookie scoop and got approx 23 or 24 cookies - which means 11 or 12 fairly large sandwich cookies. These freeze well too, FYI. Also, if you want even more orange flavor simply grate the rind of a whole orange instead of just half. Our mom loves these as she says they remind her of her grandmother (plus they taste fantastic). I love them because they remind my of our aunt (plus they taste fantastic).
