How to make cookies:

Cook pitted dates, water and sugar until thick, about 10 minutes. Cool. In a large bowl, put lard, brown sugar, white sugar, flour, soda, salt and vanilla. Mix and then add beaten eggs. If too dry to handle, add just a tiny bit of water. Make in about 3 balls, then roll to 1/4-inch thick. Spread with date mixture and then roll up like cinnamon rolls. Put in refrigerator until it is well chilled. Slice in 1/4-inch slices. Bake about 10 minutes at 350°.
