  • Spread evenly in prepared pan. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until firm to touch.

  • Cool in pan until just cool enough to handle. Cut into finger-sized lengths and roll between palms to form logs. Roll each log in confectioners' sugar. Cool completely on wire rack.

These are very yummy! Not really cookies a kind of cross between biscuit cake and bread. I think maybe there was a typo in the recipe that they corrected as when I came across this recipe it says 18 servings which was perfectly reasonable. I added 3/8 teaspoon of cinnamon which made it even more yummy and reduced the sugar slightly as the dates made it sweet enough. Also I didn't "roll between palms" just cut into bars and let cool. Try this recipe! You won't regret it! Read More

This is not a bad bar cookie. I liked it. My input would be: How do you get 48 cookies out of a 9" pan? We got 16 cookies. 48 would be crumbs only. Read More

I thought these were really delicious! I was suprised! The only reason that they don't get five stars is because they tasted just a tiny bit eggy still. I really want to try this with cranberries and pecans or raisins and walnuts. yum. Also I added in spices and vanilla to give extra flavor. Lastly I wasn't able to whip the egg whites to stiff peaks but I guess it didn't matter? The instructions about the egg whites were a bit confusing. Read More

The cookies had a hard top that crumbled and did not roll into logs. The taste was good but they looked terrible. I agree with the other cook How would you get 48 cookies out of this recipe?? Read More
