"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups yellow cornmeal
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
6 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs

1 tbsp freshly grated orange zest
1 cup chopped pitted dates
1 cup chopped almonds
1 tsp anise seed
Directions:
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in the center position. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and mix thoroughly with a whisk or fork.
2. In a large bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter on medium speed until smooth. Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time until well combined. Beat in orange extract.
3. Add the flour mixture all at once and beat on low speed. Add orange zest, dates, almonds and anise seed. Beat until well combined.
4. Transfer dough to prepared baking sheet. Using your hands, pat dough into a log this is roughly 14 by 3 1/2 inches. Bake until firm, lightly browned and slightly cracked on the top - usually about 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes.
5. Transfer log to a cutting board - leaving parchment paper behind on sheet. Using a serrated knife, cut the log crosswise into 1/2 inch thick slices. Arrange slices on baking sheet. Bake until they just begin to brown at the edges, 15 to 18 minutes rotating pan halfway through. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet.
