Bake at 325 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove to cool completely. To make filling, combine dates, remaining brown sugar and hot water over medium heat. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until thickened. Cool completely. Spread onto half of cookies; place another one on top. Makes 2 dozen large cookies or 3-1/2 dozen small cookies.
