Canadian date cookie From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A date square or matrimonial cake[1], is a Canadian dessert or bar cookie made of cooked dates with an oatmeal crumb topping.[2][3] In the western provinces and states it is known as matrimonial cake.[4][5] In Eastern Canada it can also be known as date crumbles.[6] It is often found in coffee shops as a sweet snack food. Sometimes nuts are added to the base layer or crumb topping, or other alterations.[7] There can also be candied peel added to the date stuffing for a contrasting texture.[8]
The date square is known as a traditional dish of Newfoundland.[9]
The last copy found is in a book from 1800[1] There must of course be older origins.
