(These cookies are labor-intensive, but well worth the effort! They were always a Cook/Wolter family staple and Mark Wolter's favorite cookie ever!)
Sift together several times:
1 2/3 C flour (sift after measuring)
1/2 t soda
1/4 t salt
1 C butter
1 C brown sugar
Cream butter, add sugar and blend well.
2 C oats
2 whole eggs
1 t vanilla
Add 2 eggs to cream butter and sugar; blend well. Next add dry ingredients and oats. Mix thoroughly. Roll out dough quite thin and cut into small, round cookies (Gram always used a shot glass to make the rounds!) Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 350º until golden brown.
"Glue" two baked cookies together with date filling, making a cookie sandwich:
1 lb. diced dates
1 C white sugar
1 C water
Cook over low heat until thick like jam. Flavor with vanilla and a tad butter.
