Old-Fashioned Date Bars

Dating back more than half a century ago, this Date Bar recipe was a treat on the Ohio farm where my mother grew up.

They’re a special, old-fashioned cookie for the holidays – but honestly, we love them so much that we make them all year ’round.

– White whole wheat flour – Baking powder – Sea salt  – Sugar – Butter

INGREDIENTS:

In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined.

1

In a second medium bowl, combine sugar and butter until butter is completely incorporated into the sugar.

2

Lightly dump the dry ingredients (flour mixture) over top of the wet ingredients (sugar mixture) and stir just until thoroughly combined.

3

Using a rubber scraper, spread the dough into the pan, pushing it and flattening it until it's an even thickness.
