    Date Pecan Filling:
    3 cups dates, coarsely chopped
    1/4 cup sugar
    1-1/2 cups water
    1 cup pecans, finely chopped

    Cookie Base:
    3/4 cup unsalted butter
    1 cup light brown sugar
    1-3/4 cups sifted unbleached all-purpose flour
    1/2 tsp. baking soda

    To prepare filling, mix together dates, sugar and water in saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 10 minutes). Allow to cool. Add pecans.

    Preheat oven to 400° F. Cream butter and brown sugar. Combine remaining ingredients and stir into butter mixture until well blended. Press half of the filling into a 9x13-inch glass baking dish.
