Ingredients

11/2 Cups Medjool Dates - Pitted or Chopped
3/4 Cup Water
1 Tbsp Brown Sugar
1 Tsp Lemon Juice
1 Pinch Salt
1 Cup Butter
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
1/4 Cup Sugar
2 Egg
1 Tsp Vanilla
1 1/2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1 Tsp Baking Soda
1 Tsp Cinnamon
1/2 Tsp Salt
2 1/2 Cups Rolled Oats

Directions

Add the dates, water, brown sugar, lemon juice and salt to a small saucepan. Simmer over medium-low heat for 10–12 minutes, stirring often, until thick and spreadable. Mash or blend until mostly smooth, then cool completely.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Beat the butter and sugars until creamy. Mix in the eggs and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, then stir in the oats.
Scoop level tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheets, leaving room for spreading. Gently flatten each scoop so the cookies bake into even rounds.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool completely.
Pair cookies of similar size. Spread about 1 tablespoon of date filling on the flat side of one cookie, then top with a second cookie. Press gently to sandwich them together.
