This is a unique family recipe that is originally from my great, great aunt. I have not tried it, but submitted it in response to a request. I'm sorry I don't know the serving size or exactly how long it takes to bake! Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter |
1 cup sugar |
2 large eggs |
1 tablespoon milk |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
2 cups flour |
1 pinch salt |
1 cup chopped dates |
1/2 cup water |
3 teaspoons flour |
1/2 cup sugar |
chopped nuts, to taste |
Directions:
1. Cream butter and 1 cup sugar; add eggs and beat well.
2. Add milk.
3. Sift together baking powder, 2 cups flour, and salt; add flour mixture to creamed mixture.
4. Refrigerate.
5. While dough is chilling, make filling by cooking dates, water, 3 tsp flour, and 1/2 cup sugar until thick; add chopped nuts.
6. Roll out dough; cut in rounds.
7. Mound filling in center, place another round on top and seal edges.
8. Bake at 375°F on greased cookie sheets until lightly browned.
