I just found this recipe on the back of my Dole pitted dates bag. I love dates and thought I would give this a try over Christmas vacation.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup softened margarine
1 cup sugar (divided)
1 1/3 cups flour (divided)
3 large eggs
1 (8 ounce) package pitted dates, cut up
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup orange juice
Directions:
1. Beat margarine and 1/2 cup sugar until creamy.
2. Stir in 1 cup of flour.
3. Press onto bottom of a 8 square pan.
4. Bake at 375° for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden brown.
5. Beat eggs well.
6. Stir in remaining sugar, flour, dates, cranberries and juice.
7. Pour over crust.
8. Bake 20 minutes more or until lightly browned.
9. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
10. Cut into bars.
