Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Blend flour, salt, and baking soda in a bowl. Add butter, brown sugar, molasses, and eggs. Stir until smooth. Blend in oats.

  3. Roll dough out on floured board, about 1/8-inch thick. Cut into rounds using a 2 1/2-inch cookie cutter. Place half of the rounds on an ungreased baking sheet.

  4. Combine dates, white sugar, and water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, stirring often until thickened. Stir in walnuts. Remove from heat and let cool, about 10 minutes.

  5. Spoon 1 teaspoon of the date mixture into the center of each round on the baking sheet. Cut a cross in the middle of the remaining rounds. Place over date mixture, press down on the edges of the dough to seal.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Recipe Note

My sons came up with the name for these much-loved oatmeal, date-filled cookies that really do look like volcanoes when they're cooked!
