4 dates nut recipes

This is an all-purpose filling that can be used for cookies, bars, etc. I use it most often to fill hamantaschen. Extremely simple and delicious.

Old-fashioned date and nut quick bread with just 8 ingredients. Dates soaked in boiling water create a naturally sweet, dense loaf that slices like a dream. No mixer needed.

Bomma's heirloom date nut cookies made with beaten egg whites, chopped dates, and pecans. No butter needed! Light, chewy, and naturally sweet. Makes 60 cookies.

I received this recipe from a friend who knows I love dates. It is an outstanding chocolate square, it is moist, keeps well and freezes nicely.
