Ingredients
-
2 eggs
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. white Karo
1 c. dates, finely cut
1 c. chopped nuts
3/4 c. sifted flour
2/3 c. powdered sugar
Preparation
-
Beat until light the eggs, salt and almond extract.
Gradually beat in sugar and Karo syrup.
Add dates and nuts; beat well. Fold in sifted flour.
Pour into 2 (8-inch) cake pans.
Bake at 375\u00b0 for 20 to 25 minutes.
Remove from oven.
While still hot, cut into 1 1/2-inch squares.
Shape at once into small balls; roll in powdered sugar.
The dates are very hot, so it helps to cover your hands with a thin coat of butter before shaping the balls. Store cookies in an airtight container.
