The other banana cookie led me to this recipe.

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

I am super intrigued. I wonder if dried cherries would be ok instead of dates. I don't really see what difference it would make...

I plan on using raisins. Also you can replace applesauce for the oil.

What's the purpose of dates in the recipe? Do you have to use them? I'd rather just use banana and oats, but I don't know what the dates serve as in the cookies.
