DATE PINWHEELS


Happy Tasty Tuesday friends! That’s right! Tasty Tuesday is back for one very special holiday recipe! There are a couple of holiday sweet treats my mom makes, that I request every year. Those are her white sour cream fudge and these Date Pinwheels! This recipe is from one of my favorite cookbooks that I used to love browsing through when I was a little girl. They are just the right amount of soft cookie and chewy date filling!



I cannot even tell you how much I love these. And truth is, these photos are from last year when I forgot to share this recipe and I didn’t get enough of them because I was eating the cookies so fast. I have included a photo of the ingredients and my mom and I are happy to share the recipe with you.


She hasn’t made them for me yet this year but I am anxiously awaiting them and so are my taste buds. But she did take a pic of all the ingredients for these, you will LOVE them!!
 

What you'll need

DATE PINWHEELS
INGREDIENTS
3/4 lb pitted dates, chopped
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup water
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS
Cook dates, sugar and water, stirring constantly, until thickened; cool.
Mix brown sugar, shortening, butter, egg and vanilla until smooth. Stir in flour and salt. Divide dough into halves. Roll each half in a rectangle, 11x7 inches, on waxed paper. Spread half the date filling on each rectangle. Roll up tightly, beginning at 11-inch side. Pinch edge of dough into the roll to seal. Wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cut rolls into ¼ inch slices. Place about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake until light brown, about 12 minutes. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Makes about 5 dozen.


Hope you enjoy a sweet treat today my sweet friends!!

  15. These look delicious. I'm just curious if these are from the Betty Crocker Cookie Cookbook from the 1960's? My mom had it, and I just loved looking through it. Now I have it, and need to use it more often!
