Date Pinwheel Cookies

     When I was a little girl visiting my maternal grandparents I always remember my grandpa baking. One of the things he made was Date Pinwheel cookies. I had always wondered how he got the dates swirled in the cookies, I know now how it's done. I wished I would have gotten the chance to ask him his recipe for these delicious cookies, or any recipe he had for that matter. So for now I will just have to settle for something as close to his. The recipe I found is no where near like his as the dough was lighter in color and not as fluffy. The original recipe I found here at http://www.recipetips.com/recipe-cards/t--2883/date-pinwheel-cookies.asp

Date Pinwheel Cookies

I used prepacked dates since they were already chopped up and pitted. However, I did not add the nuts since my little ones haven't developed a liking for that kind of texture. 

These turned out really good and were devoured within hours after baking. Will definitely be making these again!
