Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cup Butter, Melted And Then Cooled
- 8 ounces, weight Pitted Dates, Chopped Coarsely (around 1 1/2 Cups)
- 1-1/2 cup Walnuts, Chopped
- 1 cup Pecans, Chopped (optional)
- 2 cups All-purpose Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 3/4 cups Packed Brown Sugar
- 3/4 cups White Sugar
- 4 whole Eggs At Room Temperature
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Take 2 tablespoons of the melted butter and brush your pan (one 9x13 pan or two 8x8 pans), making sure to grease the sides as well.
- Set the coarsely chopped dates, walnuts and pecans (if using) aside in a bowl. (If the dates you are using are too dry, you can soak them in a little bit of liquid. Make sure you drain them before mixing them in with the nuts.)
- Sift the flour, salt, and baking powder into a bowl. Set aside.
- Mix the remaining 1 1/4 cup melted butter and sugars until well incorporated.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Add in the vanilla.
- Reserve 1/4 cup of the flour mixture. Dredge the date and nut mixture with the reserved flour. Use more of the flour mixture if needed.
- Mix in the rest of the flour mixture with the wet ingredients. Do this gently, by hand, until just incorporated.
- Fold in dredged dates and nuts with the batter.
- Pour the batter (it will be very thick) onto the buttered pan(s).
- Bake for 30 or more minutes, until light golden brown. It can take up to 40 or so minutes to cook, so keep checking. The bars are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let cool, and cut into squares or bars. Traditionally, these are then individually wrapped and either stacked in a gift basket, or simply served on a platter.
- Store these in an airtight container. They will stay moist if wrapped tightly.
