INGREDIENTS
1 cup butter
½ cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown Sugar
2 Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla
2 cups All purpose Flour
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
½ teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon Salt
2 cups Rolled Oats
DATE FILLING:
2 cups dates
1 cup water
¼ cup sugar (optional) see note
INSTRUCTIONS
In a large mixing bowl, using paddle attachment for stand mixer, cream together butter and both sugars.
Add in eggs and vanilla and mix until well combined.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and stir just until combined.
Add in the rolled oats and stir until combined. For this step, it might be easier to mix in the oats with a wooden spoon, or with clean hands since the mixture will be quite thick.
Scoop up a heaping Tablespoon of cookie dough and roll it into a ball, then flatten to about 2 and ½ inches in width. The cookies will spread a little, so leave a few inches between them on an ungreased or parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Bake in 350°F oven for 10 to 12 minutes. The baked oatmeal cookies will still be slightly soft in the middle.
Allow the cookies to cool before spreading with the date filling.
