Great Grandmother Saylor's Date Sandwiches

A Christmas favorite!

Filling

1 lb dates

1 cup water

1 cup brown sugar


Cook over low heat until smooth,
stirring often. It may be necessary to add a little more water from time to time. Remove from heat and add:

1 cup nuts

1 tsp vanilla


Dry Mixture
Blend together:


2 cups quick oats

1/2 tsp soda

1 cup flour

1 cup shortening

1/2 tsp salt
1 cup brown sugar

Blend well and place 1/2 in a greased 9x13 pan, patting down firmly. Spread filling evenly over dry mixture and cover with remaining dry mixture, pressing slightly into filling. Bake in 325° oven for 20 min or until slightly brown. Let cool and cut into squares.
