Today I made a favorite family Christmas treat.

[TNNurse]

6. Just dust with powdered sugar.

This recipe calls for a very specific size pan...7"X11". If you were nearby, I would give you one.

One stick of butter
One cup sugar
2 eggs
I cup all purpose flour
1/4 t salt
1/4 t baking powder
One cup chopped dates
One cup chopped pecans ( I am from GA, we eat lots of pecans)

Cream sugar and butter until light, add eggs one at a time mixing well. Combine flour and salt and baking powder and add to other mixture. When well combined fold in dates and pecans. Spread in greased and floured pan (Yes, I use Baker's Joy baking spray,). Bake at 350..25-35 minutes until lightly brown on top. Dust with powdered sugar when cool. My husband tells me that a corner piece is good as soon as you can stand to touch it. He is my taste tester.

Hope this works out for you.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday, whatever suits you.
