This is a recipe from a friend of a friend's mother. I have made a couple of changes to it to suit my tastes. It is wonderful with a cup of hot coffee or tea.

How To Make pecan oatmeal date bars

  • 3
    Divide dough into four portions and spread each portion into a 2 inch wide strip the length of the cookie sheet. I grease my cookie sheets. You can put two strips per sheet but leave room between them because they will spread out. Bake between 14-16 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool for 5-7 minutes then cut into bars (see photo) and serve. These keep well and are so tasty.
