    Recipe Introduction

    I lowered the sugar content from the original recipe. This is a rich and sweet bar cookie that you are sure to love.

    List of Ingredients

    CRUST INGREDIENTS
    1 3/4 cups oatmeal
    1 1/2 cups flour
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    3/4 cup butter, melted
    3/4 cup brown sugar
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 cup chopped walnuts


    DATE FILLING
    1 lb chopped dates
    1/2 cup sugar
    1 cup water
    1 tablespoon butter
    1 teaspoon vanilla

    Recipe

    Make the filling: Boil dates, sugar, and water until thick, about 5-10 minutes.
    Add 1 TBSP butter and the vanilla.
    Set aside to cool a bit.
    Prepare the crust: Combine all dry ingredients with the melted butter.
    Press half of the mixture into a lightly greased 13 x 9 pan.
    Cover with filling mixture and top with remaining half of crust mixture.
    Press lightly.
    Bake at 350° degrees for 25 minutes.

    Cut into squares when cool.
