List of Ingredients




Cookie Dough:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour *see note below for selfrising flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
milk
sugar

Date Filling:
2 cups chopped dates
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts



Recipe



Mix 1 cup sugar, the shortening, eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour, salt and baking soda. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Prepare Filling.
In a saucepan, combine date filling ingredients. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Cool completely.

Heat oven to 400°. Roll dough about 1/16-inch thick on a floured surface. Cut into 3-inch rounds or squares. Spoon about 1 teaspoon date filling onto one side of each circle leaving enough of an edge to seal. Fold dough over filling; pinch edges to seal. Place cookies about 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake until lightly browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately remove from baking sheet. Makes about 4 1/2 dozen date turnover cookies.
*If using self-rising flour, omit salt and baking soda.
