My Mom always made these at Christmas time but I never asked her for the recipe and had no idea where she got it from had never seen a written copy (like some of her recipes written by hand in the back of an old Five Roses cookbook) She called them Frying Pan Cookies. When I was growing up they weren't my favourite because I didn't like dates but now I guess my tastes have changed because I was missing them along with my Mom at Christmas time and so glad I found this. Just made them and they brought back so many good memories of Christmases past. Read More

Very good! It takes a bit of work but if you have the ingredients measured out ahead of time that makes it easier. Read More
