- When cool, spread Lemon Glaze over the top. Cut either into bars or squares.

ORANGE DATE-NUT COOKIES
The dough for these cookies can be made and frozen for a month ahead of baking. These cookies ship well as they become even more flavorful over time.

Steps:
- To make the cookies:
- Line a 9- x 5-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, allowing enough to extend over the edges of pan so they can cover the dough for refrigerating. Set aside.
- Position knife blade in food processor bowl; add dates, orange zest and orange juice. Process 45 seconds, or until dates are finely chopped.
- In a medium bowl, beat butter at medium speed until fluffy. Gradually add sugar, beating until well blended.
- Add the egg and vanilla; beat well.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk together to combine.
- Gradually add flour mixture into the butter mixture, beating at low speed until blended.
- Divide the dough into 3 portions. Knead ½ cup of the pecans into 1 portion of dough; press this portion into prepared pan.
- Knead the date mixture into 1 portion of dough; press in pan over pecan dough.
- Knead remaining ½ cup pecans into remaining dough; press into pan over date dough.
- Cover and chill at least 2 hours or freeze up to 1 month. (If freezing, defrost again in refrigerator for 2 days before making cookies.)
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
- Invert loaf pan onto a cutting board; remove and discard plastic wrap. Cut dough lengthwise into 3 lengthwise logs. Cut each log of dough crosswise into ¼-inch thick slices. Place the slices 1-inch apart on parchment lined baking sheets. (Each log yields about 20 cookies)
- Bake for 10-11 minutes until still soft and NOT brown at edges (I like these a little more chewy, but if you want them as tea or coffee dunking cookies, bake an additional 2 minutes until the edges are browned).
- Cool slightly on baking sheets; remove to wire rack to cool completely.
CANNED ORANGE DATE NUT BREAD
My mother loved this bread a sliver at a time with tea in the evenings. You could make one big cake in a one-pound coffee can but I like making three because then you have one to serve, one to freeze and one to give as a gift. You could also use your favorite quick bread recipe and bake it this way or even in a Ball jar. I know a woman from Canton, Ohio, Elizabeth Kisch, who won first place in a cake contest I judged, and she made her family's holiday chocolate toffee cake. One year her husband had to be out of town during the holidays, so she baked the cake in Ball jars, threw the lids on while it was still warm to sterilize them and then tucked them into her husband's suitcase - a surprise when he got to the other end.

- Spoon the batter into the cans, filling them 3/4 full. Transfer the cans to a sheet pan and bake until puffed, golden brown, and firm, about 50 minutes. Let the bread cool in the cans for 5 minutes before unmolding, or let them cool completely in the cans and wrap as a gift.
CHEWY DATE NUT BARS
You'll need just six ingredients, including a convenient boxed cake mix, to bake up these chewy bars chock-full of walnuts and dates. They are my husband's favorite snack, and he loves to take them to work. I often whip up a batch for bake sales or to share with my co-workers at our local car dealership.

DATE NUT BARS
I've had this recipe since 1938, when the girls I worked with game me a bridal shower. One of their presents was a recipe box filled with their favorites. Inside, I found this recipe, and I've used it for just about every occasion since. They're always well received.
