These cookies are delicious! I did make a few key changes though. I did not put the orange zest in the filling, instead I put 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Also, since many people said the dough was hard to roll and crumbly, I rolled it out a bit thinner than the recipe called for and stuck it in the fridge for about 20 min. This REALLY helped the dough stay together when it came time to spread the filling and roll up the cookie. I also put the rolled up cookie in the freezer for 20 min instead of the fridge as well as the knife I was going to use to slice them. Lastly I put just a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar over the tops of the cookies before they went into the oven. Came out DELICIOUS!

Not bad, it was a bit difficult to make. 1 teaspoon of orange zest made the cookies taste too orangy rather than a apple-date flavor, I would omit it or add just a tiny bit. I also advise to put it in the fridge long enough for it to be extra firm because It was difficult to cut to round pieces. The cookies were too soft in the center and stuck to the cookie sheet due to the filling. But in the end everyone enjoyed them, I don't know if I'll go through all that and make them again.

I made these for the first time a few years ago and loved the way they turned out. Just the aroma of the filling when you cook it is enough to make it hard to wait for the finished cookies to come out of the oven. Just a little crisp around the edges and soft and chewy after a day or so of storage.

I didn't particularly like these (too sweet for me) but my dad, a big date fan, LOVED them. He ate just about the entire batch inside a day. I had a hard time rolling them up, and when I cut them, some cookies fell apart easily. They also didn't bake into the solid circles like in the picture--if you didn't pick them up very carefully they fell apart. I'm not quite sure what I did, but I'll try this recipe again for my dad's birthday. Does anyone have any tips on how to make the cookies bake solid?

Not my favorite, but my father (a date lover) went through all of these in less than a day!This recipe wasn''t too difficult to make except when it came to rolling them up- -you really do have to wrap *tightly*.
