Minnesota Mail Carrier Cookies

These cookies were OK but they were missing something. I might add lemon extract if I make them again

I'm doing my holiday baking and my mom just reminded me on the phone, "Don't forget that mailman cookie!" This recipe is really easy to make and very tasty. It's a great cookie for people who don't like chocolate or are just plain tired of it. A nice flavorful change from the standard holiday cookies.

We are not in Minnesota but these are great. Have made than several times. Has become oone of our favorites.

Coconut, dates, nuts and oatmeal ~ great ingredients for a cookie. These cookies start off a little crunchie on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. After I put them in a container with a lid they lost a little of the crunchiness. Still a very good cookie and I would make again. Thanks Valarie for sharing your recipe.

These cookies were great. I love to bake and I'm always looking for a new cookie recipe. I make dozens and dozens of cookies at christmas to pass out to friends and family. I try to switch up the recipes each year so they get something different. They might just get these this year quite good. All of my co-workers loved them when I took them in to work. I did make some with the dates and some with raisins instead. Very Good Thanks.

This is not just another oatmeal cookie! I did not have raisins, so I used dried cherries. This is a keeper. Will definately make again.

These cookies are REALLY good! Super easy and fun to make. I was about 1/3 C short on brown sugar and used white sugar to make up the difference and they turned out good. Used pecans instead of walnuts and they worked great! It's a keeper!

I didn't make any changes. They came out too soft and not enough flavor. Maybe some vanilla would have helped with the flavor, and half granulated sugar to help them crisp up.
