1 cup choped dates
1/2 cup sugar
2 T flour
3/4 cup water
Cook until thick.
Add:
1 cup chopped candy orange slices
Let cool.
Sift together:
1-3/4 cup flour
1 t soda
1/2 t salt
Cream:
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup soft shortening
2 eggs
2 T milk
1 t vanilla
Add flour mixture and 1/2 cup nuts to creamed mixture.
Spread 1/2 of the batter in 9 X 13 pan. Spread on cooled filling, then remainder of batter.
Bake at 350 for 50 minutes for 25-36 minues. Cut when cooled. Freezes nicely.
This recipe came on a handwritten card by a friend of hers. I never thought I would be dicing up candy orange slices and cooking them for a cookie! This tastes kind of like a fruitcake-type thing only made in a bar. It's actually pretty good, and people that like fruitcake would probably like it since it's not a super tough consistency.
