DATE & OATMEAL COOKIES
These are my favourite oatmeal cookies. They are good with raisins, but the dates give them a sweeter, chewier texture. The mix of the two kinds of oats gives it a nice texture as well.

Notes
Don’t want to make a big batch? Roll dough into a log with parchment paper. Then wrap in plastic wrap and then tin foil and freeze. To bake, cut slices of the dough and place on a baking sheet and bake for 10 mins at 375ºF.
