These rich tasting squares use less sugar than other recipes but you would never know it. Bring squares to room temperature to serve, about 15 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-by-8-by-2-inch baking pan, and set aside. In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and baking soda. Add butter, and blend with your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Transfer two-thirds of the crumb mixture into prepared pan, and press into bottom and up sides. Spread date paste over bottom layer of the dough. Cover with remaining crumb mixture.
- Bake until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Invert onto a plate, then back onto a cutting board. Cut into 2-inch squares. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
DATE SQUARES
This was printed by The Montreal Gazette. Every Wednesday they printed recipes and recipe ideas, and many of them come from cookbooks or chefs. This one comes from chef Michele Fireman. I've tried this several times, and it's always a hit in the house.

Steps:
- For the date filling: Combine the dates, water, sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice in a medium saucepan, stirring often, until thick and smooth, about ten minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a mixing bowl cream butter, then cream in sugar.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt.
- Blend flour mixture into the butter mixture, then blend in the rolled outs.
- Grease a square Pyrex baking dish 8x8 inches/2L (I use a square baking pan of the same size).
- Put half the rolled oats mixture evenly over the bottom. Spread the cooled dates over the base. Then add the remaining rolled oats mixture over the dates.
- Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until nice and brown.
- Cool in pan. Cut into squares or bars.
- It can be frozen, but in my house it's usually gone within the next few days.
TIPSY DATE SQUARES
Think of these delightfully dense bar cookies as a variation on Italian panforte, albeit one with a playfully dark side. They include chocolate, molasses, dates, walnuts, and, to cap it all off, a brush on both sides with port. Just one tiny square delivers big flavor.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line the bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment. Whisk to combine flour, cocoa powder, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, beat brown sugar, molasses, and butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes; beat in eggs. Reduce speed to low; add flour mixture, beating just until combined. Fold in orange peel, dates, and walnuts.
- Transfer batter to pan; smooth top with an offset spatula. Bake until surface is set and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with only a few moist crumbs clinging to it, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cake rest in pan 5 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack; peel off parchment. Brush bottom side (now facing up) with 3 tablespoons port. Let stand 30 minutes. Flip cake over on rack, and brush other side with remaining tablespoon port. Let stand 1 hour. (Cake can be kept at room temperature, wrapped well in plastic, up to 1 month.)
- Cut into 3/4-inch squares, wiping knife with a damp cloth between cuts. Squares can be refrigerated in an airtight container (layered between sheets of waxed paper) up to 1 week.
