Apple and date swirl cookies with brown sugar.
Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 1 2/3 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup chopped dates
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped peeled apple
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange peel
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
Instructions:
  • In a spacious bowl, cream together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, and egg using an electric mixer or a spoon until thoroughly combined. Fold in flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • In a 1-quart saucepan, simmer the Apple-Date Filling ingredients over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils and thickens, about 5 minutes. Let it cool before using.
  • Flatten dough into a 16x8 inch rectangle between sheets of waxed paper or plastic wrap. Remove the top sheet and spread cooled Apple-Date Filling. Roll up the dough with the filling inside, starting from the 16-inch side, using the paper to lift and roll. Wrap tightly and chill for 2 to 3 hours until firm.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 1/4-inch slices, cleaning the knife as needed. Arrange slices about 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 11 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
