Christmas Date Swirl Cookie Recipe

DOUGH
1 c. white sugar
1 c. brown sugar (or 1 c. white sugar with 1/4 c. molasses)
3 eggs
4 c. flour (whole wheat or add wheat germ and bran to unbleached flour)
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. lite salt
1 tsp. cinnamon

FILLING
1 lb. (or 2 1/2 c.) chopped dates
1/2 c. sugar
1 c. water

Cook filling over medium heat, stirring constantly until consistency
of jam. Mix dough ingredients in order. Divide in half. Roll out each
half to 1/2 inch thickness. Take cooled filling and spread over dough
and roll up like a jelly roll. Wrap rolls in unwaxed paper and freeze;
freeze hard. Turn frozen rolls as you slice them. Place slices on
greased cookie sheets and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 15
minutes. (The time to bake depends on how thick you want to slice them.)
 
 

The Grant Beach Neighborhood Betterment Association is a group of citizens working together to maintain and improve the quality of living in our area. We meet monthly on a regular basis to address neighborhood concerns, and encourage residents to start smaller neighborhood watch groups in their block. We believe that people should actively participate as citizens in a democracy and as neighbors in in a community. We are a group of citizens interested in working together to maintain and improve the living quality of our neighborhood, motivate the city to address our concerns, be a spawning ground for neighborhood watch programs and build a sense of community among us. Working together, there is little that cannot be done, working apart there is little that can be done.

Mission Statement: "Improving the quality of life in our neighborhood"

This website is simply a tool we use to help keep our neighbors connected to each other, to their neighborhood and to their City of Springfield, Missouri. Please consider attending the monthly meeting. Potluck Dinner for the whole family and Free child care for the meeting
