½ cup butter or margarine
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
½ tsp. Soda
½ cup brown sugar
½ tsp. Salt
1 egg
1 recipe Date Filling
½ tsp. Vanilla
Thoroughly cream together butter (or margarine) and sugars. Add egg and vanilla; beat well. Sift together dry ingredients; stir into creamed mixture. Chill. Divide dough in half.
On lightly floured surface, roll one part of dough in 12x8-inch rectangle, about ¼” thick. Spread half of Date Filling over dough. Begin at long edge, rolling like a jellyroll. Repeat with remaining dough. Wrap rolls in waxed paper. Chill several hours. Slice ¼” thick. Bake on greased cookie sheet at 400º about 8 minutes. Makes 5 dozen.
Date Filling: In saucepan, combine 1 pound pitted dates - cut up - ½ cup sugar, ½ cup water. Cook and stir till mixture boils and thickens slightly. Cool. Just before using, add ½ cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans.
