Ingredients:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tsp lemon peel

Directions:

  1. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and spices. Set aside.
  2. Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla, and blend thoroughly.
  3. Add flour mixture, blending to make a soft dough. Refrigerate dough about 1 hour.
  4. Meanwhile, make filling. In a small saucepan, add dates, sugar, and water. Cook until mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Mix in peel and nuts. Cool.
  5. Divide cookie dough in half. Roll 1/2 into 8x10 rectangle. Spread 1/2 of filling over rolled dough. Beginning at long end, roll dough, jelly roll fashion, and wrap in plastic. Repeat with other half of dough. Refrigerate both rolls several hours or overnight.
  6. With a thin, sharp knife, slice cookies into 1/4 slices. Place on cookie pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at 375F for 8-10 minutes.
  7. ORANGE-FIG cookies: Make filling of 1-1/4 C figs, 1/4 C sugar, 3/4 C water. Cook approximately 10 minutes, then add 1 tbsp orange peel and 1/2 C finely chopped walnuts. Proceed as above using orange-fig filling instead of date filling.
