About
This recipe was found on Usenet and published on our original site in 1999. That was our first year publishing the site and while I was testing some of the recipes, some were evaluated only on “virtual” paper. The date log cookies were one of those. One day about seven years later, I received the following e-mail:
“My mother made these for Christmas when I was a little girl. They are addictive and absolutely yummy. She made them for the family dinner as well as to give as gifts for neighbors and church members. I didn’t know if I would be able to find the same recipe again, hers was lost after she passed away, and I am so glad you have it. Thank you.” Tammy G. – Tennessee, U.S.A.
