1/4 cup butter or margarine
3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
1 egg
1/2 t vanilla
1/2 cup commercial sour cream
1-1/4 cup Gold Medal flour
1/2 t soda
1/4 t baking powder
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2 cups whole dates or large halves
Satin Glaze
Oven temperature - 400. Mix butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla until fluffy. Stir in sour cream. Blend in dry ingredients. Stir in nuts and dates. Then drop by teaspoonfuls (one date each cooky) on lightly greased baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes. Cool and frost with glaze. Makes about 4 dozen.
Glaze: Heat 1/2 cup butter over medium heat until lightly brown but not burned. Remove from heat & stir in powdered sugar, 1 t vanilla, and hot water for spreading consistency.
Well, these are just not for Christmas anymore! I've always liked these cookies, but you have to love dates. I think they're really delicious. It's a little bit of a hassle trying to drop these with a date in each and have it come out perfect dough to date ratio, but it works out all right usually.
