Katish was a beloved (and completely fictional) figure at Gourmet, a Russian cook who later starred in her own book. Her recipes were all extraordinary, and this is no exception. These cookies will remind you of something your grandmother would have made. Moist, chewy, and quite sweet, they were described in the original text as being “fine to keep on hand for snacks, and suitable for packing and shipping as an edible gift.”
This is just one of Gourmet’s Favorite Cookies: 1941-2008. Although we’ve retested the recipes, in the interest of authenticity we’ve left them unchanged: The instructions below are still exactly as they were originally printed.
Crumble 14 graham crackers fine and mix with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder. Add 1 3/4 cups chopped dates and 1 cup broken walnut meats. Beat 3 eggs well and gradually add 1 cup brown sugar, then beat in the first mixture. Pour into a well greased square pan and bake 20 to 25 minutes at 375°F. Cut while warm and toss in powdered sugar.
