Today I made these cookies to use up leftover Dates and Walnuts, which had been sitting in my pantry for a long time. I used my Basic Cookie Dough, but I reduced the amount of Flour as I wanted to add a lot of Walnuts and Dates. The cookies were really delicious and very sweet because I added a lot of Dates.
