Date Squares
YIELD: 16
PREP TIME: 10 minutes
BAKE TIME: 22 minutes
1/2 cup salted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup coconut sugar*
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
4.4-4.5 ounces pitted Medjool dates, chopped
powdered sugar for serving
*light brown sugar may be substituted
Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour an 8x8" pan, tapping out the excess flour.
Cream the butter and sugar together until well combined. Mix in the eggs and vanilla. On low speed, add the flour, mixing until just combined. Stir in the chopped dates.
Spread into the prepared pan. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until done. Let cool on a wire rack until completely cooled or slightly warm. Cut into squares (a bench scraper works well here) and dust with powdered sugar.
