1/2 c. margarine or butter
1/2 c. light brown sugar
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
2 c. sifted flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 c. chopped nuts

Cream margarine, add brown sugar and granulated sugar. Blend well.
Add egg and vanilla, beat until light.
Add sifted dry ingredients.
Filling:
Cut dates into small pieces.
Combine with sugar, dash of salt and water.
Bring to a boil.
Simmer about 5 minutes.
I find this works best in the microwave.
Making the cookies:
Divide dough in half.
Roll on waxed paper into approx. 9 X12-inch rectangle. Spread both with filling and roll up tightly so you have
a long roll.
Wrap in paper.
Chill over night.
Slice 1/2-inch thick.
Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes on lightly greased cookie pan.
