These sound lovely Cookie. Did you use fresh or dried dates?

I used dried dated DD. Fresh dates never live in this house as I eat them on the way home.

This is delicious Cookie! I made it today and will be making often! Thanks for another yummy recipe

I subbed nuttelex for the butter so it's dairy free.

I'm glad you like it. It seems to have a caramel flavour from the dates or something.
