DATE FILLED COOKIES
This is a very basic recipe for a rolled- up- pastry- cookie with date filling, it has many variations in Israel, I will note some here. Very sweet & tasty,yet no added sugar. The pastry is very easy to make and is called "SFM" which stands for Sour cream, Flour and Margarine(in Hebrew-"shekem") The pastry itself can also be used for quiches,pies etc.

Steps:
- Mix the pastry ingredients well to form a nice soft smooth dough.
- Form ball and wrap in the paper left from margarine and refrigerate for an hour(or stick in freezer for 10 minutes,or -- don't chill at all if in a rush!).
- Divide into three parts (each will create a "roll up").
- On a clean,floured surface roll to a large rectangle (about 30-40cm x 20-30cm), around 2-3mm thick, with the long end parallel to you.
- *TIP: roll the end closest to you slightly thinner and roll up from this side-this ensures pastry gets baked all the way through.
- With a long spatula spread a third of the date spread evenly over the pastry, leaving a 5-10mm margin all around.
- Optional additions before rolling:.
- *cut up the date "block" into small pieces (I usually just tear little bits off by hand) and distribute a third over the date spread.
- *sprinkle with around a teaspoon of cinnamon-and some sugar if desired.
- *This is a delicious touch: crumble 2-3 tablespoons of plain vanilla Halva over the date spread.
- Repeat with the other 2 parts of pastry.
- *Now roll up tightly,place on baking paper lined cookie sheet (curve the roll if it came out too long) and bake for about 10-20 minutes -DEPENDS ON YOUR OVEN-until golden.
- Remove tray from oven and leave to cool slightly.
- With a sharp serated edge knife cut diagonaly into 2-3 cm slices and leve to cool completely.
- You can sprinkle with powdered suger if desired.
- Store in airtight cookie containers.
