Directions: |
Directions:Combine and cook until thick: dates, nuts, 1/2 c. sugar and water. Cool.
Cream shortening with brown sugar. Add vanilla and eggs; beat well. Add 2 cups flour sifted with soda, baking powder and salt. Add to creamed mixture. Add enough flour (about 2 more cups) to make a soft dough.
Divide in four parts and foil each into a rectangle about 1/4" thick. Spread each with the date mixture and roll as for jelly roll. Roll in waxed paper. Freeze or chill thoroughly.
Slice about 1/4" thick and bake at 325 degrees for about 8 minutes or until slightly browned. |
