Instructions
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup chopped dates
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup chopped nuts
Cream butter, brown sugar and 1/2 cup sugar. Add egg and vanilla and beat until smooth. Stir in flour and baking soda. Shape into 2 rolls, wrap in waxed paper and refrigerate. While dough is chilling, combine the dates, 1/2 cup sugar, water and nuts; cook until thick. Cool before using. When dough is thoroughly chilled, slice thin and put a teaspoon or so of filling between two cookies. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Watch closely for cookies to lightly brown.
