Ingredients

3 eggs, beaten
1 C. strained honey
1-1/2 C. cake flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 C. ground dates
1 C. chopped nuts

Cooking Instructions

Beat eggs until thick and combine with honey. Sift flour, baking powder and salt together; add to eggs and honey. Add dates and nuts. Combine all ingredients. Pour only to 1/4-inch depth into two 7 by 11 inch pans, which have been greased and lined with wax paper. Bake in a moderate oven at 35o degrees F. for 40 minutes. Remove from pan and cool. Cut into 22 bars 1-inch wide, or wrap the whole cake in wax paper and store until ready to cut. Honey cookies can be kept 2 or 3 weeks, and the flavor will improve. If made as bars, may be rolled in confectioners sugar or frosted.
