ingredients
1 package (8 ounce size) dates, diced
1 cup hot water
1 cup pecans, very finely chopped (optional)
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla, divided use
2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
1 cup butter, softened
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon soda
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
directions
Combine dates, sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and hot water in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat until thickened, about 6-8 minutes. Stir constantly. Remove from heat and stir in pecans, if using. Set date mixture aside to cool.
Combine brown sugar and butter. Cream until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs.
Combine flour, soda, cream of tartar, salt and cinnamon. Stir into creamed mixture. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and mix well. Divide dough into thirds.
Roll each portion into a 12" square on waxed paper. Spread each square with 1/3 of date mixture. Lifting edge of waxed paper, gently peel off dough and roll up jelly roll fashion. Wrap rolls in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
When ready to bake, cut dough into 1/4" slices and place two inches apart on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool cookies on wire rack.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
