Grandma's Cookies

As far back as I can remember, my Grandma Redfield always had a batch of a certain kind of cookies in her cookie tin. They were a kind of sugar cookie that had date filling in the middle. I don't know where she got dates in the middle of absolute nowhere in Montana, but she did. My Mom and I were discussing old recipes one day and I said I would really like to have that cookie recipe so I could try and recreate that memory. Mom found it last fall and this weekend I finally got around to making them. They turned out pretty good, the taste is the same as Grandma's but the texture was a little firmer.  That might be because it said to bake in a "moderate" oven and I didn't know what temperature that was so I had to guess, or I used too much flour when I rolled them out. Anyway, I'll have to keep trying.

The finished product. Quiet yummy!

Photo Friday - Weather

We don't have "weather" in AZ really, just heat. But a few weeks ago we had heavy rain one day and then thick fog the next. It was kind of surreal and I had to get some photos!
