The basic dough doubles as a shortbread-like crust and crumbly topping for these sweet date bars shared by Gloria. Ingredients:
1 package (8 ounces) chopped dates |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup water |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
2 cups basic cookie dough |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, bring the dates, sugar, water and lemon juice to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat; cool.
2. Press half of the cookie dough into a greased 9-in. square baking pan. Spread with date mixture. Crumble remaining dough over filling. Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until top is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Yield: about 2 dozen.
