3 cups chopped dates |
1-1/2 cups water |
1/2 cup granulated sugar |
1-1/2 cups chopped walnuts |
Directions:
1. Cook dates and sugar in water until thick then add nuts and cool.
2. Cream shortening and sugar well then add eggs mixing well.
3. Add flour, salt and baking soda then divide into 2 parts.
4. Roll on floured wax paper approximately 12” round and 1/4” thick.
