Old cookie recipe with raisin or dates that you could roll up in a towel and cut as needed; she says nut meats.
Ingredients:
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup raisins or 1 cup dates, chopped
1 cup shortening
3 cups brown sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup walnuts
Directions:
1. Cook the water, sugar, and raisins or dates together, stirring constantly as it burns.
2. Cook until thick; cool.
3. Cream shortening and brown sugar together; add eggs, one at a time.
4. Add vanilla.
5. Sift flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon together; add walnuts.
6. Add to creamed mixture.
7. Pat or roll out on wax paper or towel to 1/2 inch thick.
8. Spread date mixture over it, roll up and store in refrigerator.
9. Slice and bake as needed.
10. No time or temperature was given for baking; I am guessing 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.
