List of Ingredients




1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
2 1/4 cups sifted flour
dates, pitted and halved

Recipe



Cream butter and sugar. Add vanilla, salt and nuts. Add flour, working it in with your hands. Chill dough until you are able to handle it without having it stick to your hands. Preheat oven to 400. Roll portions around half a date. Form into balls, covering date half completely. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 400 for 10-12 minutes, or until set but not brown. Remove to absorbent paper until excess grease is absorbed. Coll slightly, then roll in granulated sugar.

Makes about 50 cookies.
