This looks amazing! I love dates and also use coconut oil for all things cooking, frying, baking, etc. I believe there may be a connection between gluten and autism in some people. Since I am currently pregnant, I love trying out gluten free recipes as a preventative factor.
Date-filled cookies were a specialty of my grandmother’s. She passed away almost 2 months ago and I have not yet found her recipe (she did so many from memory!). I’m going to give your’s a try and see if it matches!
Sounds like a very simple yet yummy recipe. Thanks.
I was just thinking about fig newtons and came across this recipe. Sounds good.
These look super tasty! Thanks!
These look really good. I’m going to have to make these soon!
What is your gluten free flour mix? They look great.
My preference is the Pure Pantry… they have great mixes gluten-free.
I love dates and these cookies sound delicious–thanks for sharing the recipe!
OMG! I can’t wait to try these– I love dates–I know they are not fatting so I can have as many as I want –right??
Of course Dianna! Enjoy them..I plan on posting soon my mom’s fabulous date bars made newly gluten-free. Check back.
Yummy! I love dates of any kind. I like not having to roll out and use cutters – this is super!!!

My Polish great grandmother made something very similar to this, and I could never find a recipe that looked like it.. thanks for sharing and giving me the chance to try and copy them!

I am always looking for a simple cookie recipe. This looks good and reminds me of my grandmothers cookies. Thanks for sharing.
Yup..they are like my grandma’s but gluten free.
these look super yummy I will have to try making them i’m sure my daughter would love to help it’s always nice having someone to bake with
These sound amazingly yummy! I haven’t found a good-tasting gluten free flour though, do you think this would work with coconut flour? Thanks for posting!
Kiki..I would not use coconut flour for this. Try Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Flour Blend.
If you don’t like that my fav is The Pure Pantry. I also use Better Batter.
