I was in a baking mood this weekend and wanted to find a good dessert that was both sweetened by dates and without butter.  I adopted this recipe from deliciousinspiration and these were pretty tasty, but also hard by the next day.  I think my dough was laid out to thick.  Also, I hadn’t worked with dates much before and I underestimated their level of sweetness.  I think this recipe could have done with less sugar. 

2 cup all purpose flour 

1/2 teaspoon salt 

2 teaspoon baking powder

4 eggs

2 cup light brown sugar

2 cups sliced almonds 

2 cups chopped dates 

1. Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking dish with foil, grease.  
2. Mix together flour, salt and baking soda
3. In a larger bowl, whisk the eggs.  Then add the brown sugar and mix well.  
4. Add the flour mixtures to the egg mixture in small batches, blending well after each flour addition
5. Mix in the dates and nuts 
6. Scrape batter into baking dish and bake for about 15-18 min.  
7. Enjoy tasty snack
