Cook Time:
I looked through the date recipes; I couldn't believe there were no date turnovers. This is a classic, classic cookie - I adapted this recipe from The Canadian Farm Cookbook, of 1911. A big, not-too-rich cookie - I could eat'em for breakfast.
Directions:
1
Cook the dates and water together, stirring frequently, until soft and amalgamated.
2
Let cool.
3
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
4
Butter a large cookie sheet.
5
Stir together the dry ingredients.
6
Beat together the cooled melted butter and eggs, then beat in the buttermilk.
7
Mix the beaten butter and egg mixture into the dry ingredients, adding a little more buttermilk if needed to make a soft dough.
8
Drop half the dough by spoonfuls onto the cookie sheet.
9
Space them well apart.
10
Divide the filling evenly over the cookie bases.
11
Spoon the remainder of the dough over the cookies.
12
Bake for 20 minutes.
