if you use any of those soft spreads - that will also ruin a good cookie
Thanks so much for your advice, I do think my oven temp is off, I have a really cheap stove that is old and uneven. I tried to bake chocalate chip cookies today and they got flat and did not cook in the middle of the cookies. I again think I need to fork out the money for a decent stove. My oven door does not even shut or seal when closed.
So sorry to hear about the stove! That could be the whole problem.
Do you have an electric skillet?
Fry Pan Cookies
1 egg
1/4 c milk
1 c dates, chopped fine
3 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 c sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 c shortening
2 tsp nutmeg
In measuring cup combine eggs, milk and dates. Set aside. Into large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, nutmeg, baking soda and baking soda. Add shortening and blend as for pie crust. Pour liquid over other ingredients and combine thoroughly. Shape into 2 rolls that are 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap in wax paper. Chill, and slice into 1/4 inch slices as needed.
Preheat electric skillet to 350.
Place 12 cookies into fry pan. Cover. Bake for 5-6 minutes on first side. Wait until golden brown, then turn with spatula. Bake 3-4 minutes on second side. Cool on a cake rack, and frost with milk frosting as desired. This is not a very sweet cookie.
For extra sweetness, sprinkle with sugar before frying.

That sounds like a good recipe, I am not real fond of dates but I will keep an open mind and see how they turn out. I think I will start saving for a new stove also.
