Date Filled Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. butter or margarine
1 c. brown sugar
2 c. quick cooking oatmeal
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 c. warm water
2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour

Preparation

Cream butter and sugar well.
Add ingredients in order listed. Chill dough for several hours before rolling out. Roll fairly thin and cut with a biscuit cutter, allowing two for each cookie. (Or, you may place filling on one side of the circle of dough and fold over and crimp together with a fork, making a crescent shape.) Put a generous teaspoon of filling on one cookie and cover with another, pressing edges together.
