Date Strips Recipe

I asked my mom if she remembers date strips since the recipe is in my grandmother's cookbook, but she doesn't remember.

I don't think my grandmother finished the entry since it doesn't say what to do with the batter once it's made, so the baking portion of this is just what I did.

They turned out tasting like sugar cookies with dates and nuts (I added walnuts because that's what I had, I think macadamia nuts would be even better).
