Sticky dough, but worth the effort

I love these - they are tasty and not too sweet - might put more dates in next time, as they add so much to the taste and texture. Will make again

Pros: tasty

Cardboard

These cookies had a dry texture resembling cardboard. The dough was too soft to form logs; make bar cookies instead. (Tip: If you still want to make these cookies and don't have a food processor, a hand-held blender works fine for pureeing the dates in Step 4.)

Pros: Easy

These came out so moist and tasty while not being sickly sweet, and the logs are much easier to deal with than rolled or drop cookies. I added about a tablespoon of fresh ginger to the puree blend just because I'm a ginger lover. The dates add nice sweetness and moisture. Funny though - my logs flattened out so that they resembled french bread by the time they were done. Not sure if that's intentional or if I need to add more flour for high altitudes. Next time I might use turbinado instead of regular sugar as the topping.
