Another one of Mom's recipes from my site www.bestchristmas.net (http://www.bestchristmas.net)

Date Filled Cookies

Cream together: 1 lb. box brown sugar; 1 cup shortening; 3 eggs; 4 tsp. vanilla;

In another bowl, mix together: 1 tsp. salt; 4 cups flour; 2 tsp. baking soda; 2 tsp. baking powder

Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture, and blend well.

Roll out and use a flower-shaped or round cookie cutter to cut out tops and bottoms of filled cookies.

Filling: In a saucepan add ½ # dates; 1 tsp. lemon juice; ¼ cup sugar; ¾ cup water – cook and stir until thick; let cool; add chopped walnuts or pecans

On a cookie sheet, place a cut-out cookie bottom, a dab of filling in the center, then top with another cut-out and pinch the edges together to seal. Continue until cookie sheet is filled wth filled cookies!

Bake @ 350 degrees. YUMMY!

I love Peanut Butter Cookies especially with a Hershey's Kiss in the Center. Just put when in the center while there are still soft right after they come out of the oven.

You should have the moderators move the Peanut Butter Recipe to a new Thread to keep all the recipes seperate.
