Food for the Gods Cookies

I made Date Walnut Rum Truffles and had some dates and walnuts left over.  It was not enough for a batch of Food for the Gods, but it could be good enough for a small batch of cookies. 

"Food for the Gods" is the popular name, at least in our country, for the super delicious dates and walnuts bars, so called because they are said to be food fit for gods' consumption.  

The "real" food for the gods are bar cookies, but with a bit of imagination, I came up with these cookies which are yummy and heavenly too!
