Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup flour (I use whole wheat pastry flour)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 cups oats
1 (8 ounce) package chopped dates (I like Amport brand)
1 (7 ounce) package pure almond paste (I use Odense brand)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cream butter and both sugars together in a large bowl.
Add egg and vanilla then blend well. Next add flour, baking soda, and cinnamon.
Add oats and dates and stir to blend.
Press half the date mixture into an ungreased 8X8 glass baking dish.
Roll the almond paste between 2 sheets of wax paper to form an 8X8 square.
Place the almond paste on top of the date layer in the dish and press into place.
Put the rest of the date mix on top of the marzipan layer and press it flat on top.
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes or more before cutting.
