Date Oatmeal Cookies

This recipe brings back memories of G'ma's cookie jar. We didn't care what kind of cookie was in there , but these were one of our favorites because it was different and you couldnt buy them. I love dates to me they are like candy. I hope you enjoy these "blasts from the past". These are a very moist cookie so don't overbake.
