"Plain fresh bread, its crust shatteringly crisp. Sweet cold butter. There is magic in the way they come together in your mouth to make a single perfect bite."--Ruth Reichl

Directions:
Make your dough ahead and allow to refrigerate over night.

Make your filling and allow to set over night. To make: combine dates, sugar and water in a sauce pot and cook until thick, add nuts and stir. Then let the mix set overnight.

New day:
Divide the dough into 3 equal parts. Roll out dough and spread date and nut mix on dough. Roll like a jelly roll. Put it in the icebox. Let it set until stiff enough to cut into cookies. Take out one roll at a time cutting the log into ½" slices. Bake at 375º for 15 min. It may take longer to bake, but don't over do it; they burn easy.
