2 eggs
1 1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda, DISSOLVED IN
1/4 cup boiling water
1 cup dates, chopped

Mix the brown sugar and shortening together. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Mix the cinnamon into the flour and mix them into the batter. Add the soda water and mix again. Add the dates and raisins and mix well.
Drop by the tablespoonful (or teaspoon for smaller cookies) onto a greased cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F. They freeze well too.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

Finally a cookie with a decent texture! Good chewy cookie, not dry, not tough.
I have been looking for my Grandmothers' cookie recipe for over 20 years. I think this might be it !!!! They sure look the same ..lol No matter - I KNOW they will be excellent just by the ingredients.

These cookies are delicious. I was able to make 3 dozen. They have a moist, chewy texture, and the hint of cinnamon adds a nice touch to the flavour. It could be my oven, but I needed 12 minutes baking time.
