Ingredients
Date Pecan Filling:
3 cups dates, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup pecans, finely chopped
Cookie Base:
3/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1 3/4 cups sifted unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
Directions
- To prepare filling, mix together dates, sugar and water in saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 10 minutes). Allow to cool. Add pecans.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cream butter and brown sugar. Combine remaining ingredients and stir into butter mixture until well blended. Press half of the filling into a 9x13-inch glass baking dish. Spread with cooled filling. Cover with remaining filling mixture, patting lightly. Bake until lightly browned (approximately 25 to 30 minutes). Cool and cut into bars.
