Dried Dates

[GlutenGalAZ]

Hi.

I found a recipe on a cookie site that I want to try to make but it calls for dried dates. I found Amport Dates but was a little nervous b/c there is an old post on here about them using oat flour to roll the dates in BUT I did get an e-mail from the company so it sounds like they are safe now:

Thank you for your contact. We use a small amount of sugar not flour.

There is no gluten in our diced dates.

We appreciate your patronage.

I'm not sure about dates (though that e-mail makes them sound safe) but you could substitute raisins, I'd imagine. Also, I believe all Sweet Energy dried fruit is gluten-free, but you should probably double-check.
