This cookie should have been great. I love dates, they are such a wonderful sweet and chewy addition to anything, it should have made this cookie spectacular. Chocolate chips, cocoa, oats, dates . . . recipe for a winner. Sadly, this one fell flat. It just wasn't remarkable on any level. Not a strong chocolate flavor, not a strong date flavor (I wasn't even sure I could taste the dates, I knew they were in there). And the consistency was off. It was really dense, and not for any redeeming reason. Oh well, it was a good try, but in the end, just ok.
