2 (1 oz.) sq. semi-sweet chocolate
1 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
6 oz. room temperature butter
1/3 c. granulated sugar
1/4 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
1 c. old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 c. chopped dates

Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut the chocolate into approximately 1/4 inch chunks. Combine the flour, salt, soda and cinnamon. Beat together the butter, sugars and vanilla. Beat in the egg. Stir in the flour mixture. Add the oats, dates and chocolate.

Drop the dough by level teaspoons onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake until the edges brown, 6-8 minutes. Let cookies cool 1 minute on baking sheets before removing to racks.
