Oh, my heavenly being! These cookies are without a doubt the most delicious ones I’ve ever had. My buddy bakes extremely delicious cookies, and I’ve been attempting to acquire the recipe from her for quite some time now, but she won’t give it to me haha. I really like them, and the flavor is really reminiscent of a cookie that you may pick up at a local bakery. I want to thank you for providing such a delicious dish.

My spouse really loves them, so I prepared them for him last night. These are wonderful, and I am so grateful that you shared them with me.

OMGosh! Eggs, milk, peanuts, and soy beans are the foods that may make my kid sick. She is able to consume oats so long as they do not come into touch with any of the other foods to which she is allergic, which is almost everything.

These are some of the best. In general, I’m not a big fan of cookies, but these ones are quite tasty.

They are out of this world!! When I used to work there, one of my coworkers was an Indian lady who cooked these cookies often. They were very fantastic. Much more delicious is this recipe!

OMG! These are the most delicious cookies I’ve ever had! We are grateful that you have shared this with us.

Will it work to use wheat flour for the all-purpose flour? My spouse really enjoys eating this dish.

You may absolutely use whole wheat flour in lieu of the all-purpose variety. Be sure to give it a thorough combining before using it.

Can dates expire?

Dates have a really long shelf life when they are maintained correctly, in addition to having an irresistibly sweet taste and a wide range of applications.

Dates may and often do go stale.
