Easy Date Filled Cookies

Filling:
3/4 cup chopped dates
1/2 cup sugar
3 oz. water

Cook in pot on stove until thickened. Be careful not to burn the filling.

Cookie:
1/2 cup margarine
2/3 cup brown sugar (original recipe calls for 1 cup but I used less and it tastes just fine!)
1 egg
1/4 cup water or buttermilk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
1 3/4 cup flour

Cream margarine, sugar and egg. Add water. Mix well and add other ingredients. Drop by spoonful on cookie sheet. Add 1/2 to 1 tsp. date filling and cover with 1/2 tsp. dough. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes. Yield: 2-3 dozen cookies. This recipe is extremely easy and very quick to make cookies with filling inside! No rolling out of dough and spreading filling between two cookies!
