* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
* 1 cup butter, softened
* 2 cups packed brown sugar
* 2 eggs

Recipe
1. To prepare the filling, cook the dates, 3/4 cup
of sugar and water over medium-high heat, stirring
constantly, until thickened. Stir in the nuts, remove
from the heat and set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
3. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and
brown sugar. Stir in the eggs, sour cream and almond
extract. Sift together the flour, salt, baking soda
and cinnamon, stir into the creamed mixture. Drop a
rounded teaspoon of dough onto an unprepared cookie
sheet, place a scant teaspoon of the filling on top of
it, then top with an additional 1/2 teaspoon of dough.
Repeat with the rest of the dough.
4. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven,
or until slightly browned.
