December 15, 2014 by Melissa

Today Is... Cookie (treatswithatwist.com) #glutenfree #holidaybaking

Whew! That was quite a title! And a total lie too! Because although I did truly make Currant Date Oatmeal Cookies, that's not what I'm calling them...but I didn't want to confuse the crap out of you so I made the title pretty straight forward.
