Old-Fashioned Date Bar Recipe

Dating back more than half a century ago, this Date Bar recipe was a Christmas time treat on the Ohio farm.

They’re a special, old-fashioned cookie for the holidays. They’re super-easy and freezable, too, so you can always keep a stash on hand!

• wheat flour • baking powder • sea salt • water • vanilla • eggs • sugar • walnuts • butter • dried dates

Ingredients

Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9 x 13" baking pan by spraying with cooking spray and/or lightly but thoroughly flouring the bottom.

1.

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

2.

In a second medium bowl, combine sugar and butter until butter is completely incorporated into the sugar. The mixture will be crumbly, similar to wet sand.

3.

These freeze really well, so they're a great make-ahead recipe for keeping some cookies in the freezer, ready in a pinch. You can cut the bars and roll each in powdered sugar prior to freezing.
