Yield 60

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup butter (at room temperature)
2 cups packed brown sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
8 ounces dates, pitted and chopped
1 cup finely chopped pecans
½ cup water
½ cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Cream the butter and brown sugar together in a mixing bowl until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla. Sift the cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and flour together in a second mixing bowl. Slowly stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture until evenly blended.
  • Divide the dough evenly into three portions and place each on a square of waxed paper. Wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling by combine the dates, pecans, water and white sugar in a saucepan set over low heat. Cook and stir until the filling has a paste-like consistency. Cool slightly.
  • Working with one portion at a time, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to make a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread 1/3 of the filling evenly over the dough; roll up to make a log. Repeat the process with the remaining dough. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Lightly grease two baking sheets.
  • Using a sharp, serrated knife, cut the rolls into 1/4 inch slices. Place the slices on prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake in preheated oven until set and lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cool on racks.

I'm not a huge fan of dates, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The filling was sweet and chewy, and the pastry was flaky and buttery.

These cookies are the perfect make-ahead treat. I made them a few days ahead of time and they were still just as delicious when I served them.

I had a bit of trouble rolling out the dough, but I think that was just because I didn't have a rolling pin. I ended up using a wine bottle instead, and it worked just fine.

These cookies were a bit too crumbly for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would try using a different type of flour next time.

I had some trouble rolling out the dough, but the cookies still turned out great. I think they would be even better if I had a rolling pin that was a bit bigger.
