This recipe was my great aunt's; it dates back to about 1912.
Bliss Date-Filled Oatmeal Cookies
1 C. sugar
1/2 C. shortening
1/2 C. buttermilk
1/4 tsp. salt
2 C. oatmeal
2 C. white flour
1/2 tsp. soda
Filling:
1 small pkg. dates (about 8 oz.), chopped
1/2 C. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. lemon juice
1 C. water
In a saucepan, boil the filling ingredients to a paste; cool. Cream
shortening; add sugar and mix until creamy. Add soda to buttermilk
and add to mixture alternately with flour and salt. Add oatmeal to
make a soft firm dough. Chill in refrigerator for an hour or more.
Remove from refrigerator in small portions and roll out on a floured
board. Roll quite thin (about 1/8") and cut out with a small round
cookie cutter. Bake 10 minutes on an ungreased cookie sheet at 325
deg. Remove from oven onto brown paper and cool. Cookies may be
stored in airtight containers, or frozen until ready to use. Then
spread filling on one circle, cover with second circle to form
sandwiches.
