But used dates and walnuts. I searched through all of my cook books, and found a recipe. It calls for eggs, flour, sugar nuts and dates. Separate the eggs, whip the whites. Mix all of the other ingredients together, then fold in the whites, bake. Cut them into bars, roll them in xxx sugar. They dry out kind of fast, probably because there is no fat in the recipe.

They taste like Gram's. I was so happy to find a recipe that was like hers. A few years ago, I substituted dried cranberries for the dates, and that makes an awesome bar cookie, too. And pretty for Christmas
