Steps:
- In saucepan, combine dates, butter, water, cardamom and cloves.
- Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes or until dates become a paste.

- Divide date paste into 4 parts and roll each out, between sheets of wax paper, to match dough size.

- Slice rolls into 1-inch pieces and place on greased baking sheet.
- Bake in preheated 325F oven 35 minutes or until cookies begin to turn golden brown.
