These were my grandmother's specialty. Keep them stored in an airtight
container as they tend to dry out quickly. They're especially good for
dunking in coffee!
Preheat oven to 350. Cream shortening and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs amd
beat thoroughly. Sift flour, salt, baking powder, and soda together. Add
alternately with milk to creamed mixture. Fold in dates and nuts. Pour into
greased, shallow pans. Bake in 350 oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Cut into
bars when still warm and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
