Grandma used ½ pkg seeded dates to a batch.  She cuts the dates in small pieces and pour boiling water over them.  Let them sit for a few minutes and drain before serving.

Cream ½ c butter.  Add 1 c sugar and 2 eggs, one at a time, and beat after each addition.  Add 1 tsp vanilla.  Add 1 c sifted flour, ½ tsp baking powder, ½ tsp salt and beat well.  Fold in ½ c nuts and 11 oz cut dates.  Spread in greased 9” pan and bake 30 minutes at 375°.  Sprinkle with powdered sugar and cut in bars.
