GRANDMA'S PECAN COOKIES
I have fond memories of helping my grandmother make these delicious cookies. It was a family favorite and she brought it to gatherings often. She gave me the recipe in 1967 when I was getting married. Over the years it "disappeared". Imagine my excitement when I found it recently. This is a crispy cooke that is not too sweet. I hope this will be a memory for my grandchildren.

DATE COOKIES (GRANDMA COOKIES)
These are old fashioned cookies that have been in my family for many years. I have not tried them myself, but am submitting them in response to a request. I got the recipe from my great aunt, who says it's from her mother. She says they always used to call these "Grandma Cookies". I'm fairly sure you could use either softened butter or oil in place of the "fat"! Sorry I have no clue about how many cookies this makes or exactly how hot the oven should be!
