Guest guest Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 These aren't really cookies. I've never made a successful cookie in my life, I'm 'cookie-challenged'. But these are good. This was my grandmother's recipe. Pat * Exported from MasterCook * Date Bars Recipe By : Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Desserts Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 2 eggs 3/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup flour 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup dates -- chopped 1 cup nuts -- chopped 1/2 teaspoon baking powder Preheat oven to 350 F. Separate eggs. Beat yolks, then beat sugar into the yolks. Add flour, baking powder, dates and nuts. Beat egg whites until stiff and fold in to rest. Bake in greased 8 " or 9 " square pan at 350 F for 20-25 minutes. Let cool. Cut into bars, then roll in confectioner's sugar. Description: " This was my Grandmother's recipe - they are WONDERFUL. She always made them at Christmas time, they'd make an excellent Christmas gift. " - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Per Serving (excluding unknown items): 289 Calories; 11g Fat (33.3% calories from fat); 6g Protein; 45g Carbohydrate; 4g Dietary Fiber; 47mg Cholesterol; 47mg Sodium. Exchanges: 1/2 Grain(Starch); 1/2 Lean Meat; 1 Fruit; 2 Fat; 1 1/2 Other Carbohydrates. NOTES : I'm guessing as to the amount of baking powder. I'd left it off from the ingredient list on the old 3x5 card for this recipe, but included it in the directions. I think 1/2 teaspoon would be enough to raise that little bit of flour. These don't raise much in any case, they are flat bars. -- Pat Meadows CLICK DAILY TO FEED THE HUNGRY United States: http://www.stopthehunger.com/ International: http://www.thehungersite.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 I agree. These do sound good and very much like a " Grammy snack " aka something a grandmother would make. ~ P_T ~ Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand. -Margery Williams 'The Velveteen Rabbit' ~~~*~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> , Allison Nations < allyanne2001> wrote: > Now this looks like a cookie I will eat!!!!!!!! > > Warmly, > Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
