Ingredients

• 1 Cup butter
• 2 Cups brown sugar, packed
• 3 Large eggs
• 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 Teaspoon cinnamon, ground
• 0.25 Teaspoon salt
• 0.5 Teaspoon baking soda
• 4.5 Cups all-purpose flour, sifted
• 8 Ounces dates, minced
• 1 Cup pecans, finely chopped
• 0.5 Cup water
• 0.5 Cup white sugar

Steps

1. Cream the butter and brown sugar together in a mixing bowl until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
2. Sift the cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and flour together in a second mixing bowl. Slowly stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture until evenly blended.
3. Divide the dough evenly into three portions and place each on a square of waxed paper. Wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
4. Meanwhile, make the filling by combining the dates, pecans, water, and white sugar in a saucepan set over low heat. Cook and stir until the filling has a paste-like consistency. Cool slightly.
5. Working with one portion at a time, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to make a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread 1/3 of the filling evenly over the dough; roll up to make a log. Repeat the process with the remaining dough. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Lightly grease two baking sheets.
7. Using a sharp, serrated knife, cut the rolls into 1/4 inch slices. Place the slices on prepared baking sheets.
8. Bake in preheated oven until set and lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cool on racks.
