Categories     Dessert

Time 1h32m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup butter (softened)
½ cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 egg
8 ounces fresh dates, chopped ((approximately 1 cup))
¾ cup granulated sugar (divided)
½ cup water
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a small mixing bowl and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer, cream the butter with remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Mix on medium speed for a minute or two. Add the egg and vanilla and continue mixing until well incorporated.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and stir with a spoon until combined. Using clean hands, work the dough until it holds together in a ball. Wrap the ball of dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.
  • Meanwhile, place the chopped dates, 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring mixture to a boil then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. When the dates have cooked down and the mixture is paste like, mix in the chopped nuts and remove the pan from the heat. Set aside to cool.
  • Roll chilled dough out on a lightly floured piece of wax paper to a 12- x 8-inch rectangle. Spread the cooled date mixture on the dough to within about 1/2-inch of the edges. Starting at one of the long ends, begin to carefully roll the dough into a log. Wrap the rolled dough in the wax paper and refrigerate for at least an hour or overnight.
  • When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Slice roll into 1/4-inch slices. Place on lightly greased or parchment paper lined baking sheets and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool on baking sheets for a minute or two before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store in an airtight container.

Make ahead freezer rolled cookies, This is an old family recipe of my Grandmother's. It has beenTHE Holiday cookie all of my life. It's the only one my (now grown) kids ask for each year in their Christmas package. They went to Iraq one year. They keep well, travel well but that's not the very best thing about these cookies. You can have them ready to go and served warm for party occasions, in no time at all. Wow your friends. Most of the work takes place ahead of time.
