Once cool, add the dates to a food processor, and pulse into a smooth paste. Remove from the stove and set to the side to let cool. Cover and let simmer until the date mixture becomes the consistency of jam. In a medium sauce pan, bring the dates, vanilla, orange juice, and water to a low boil on low-medium heat. To this day, whenever I see a fig newton, it reminds me of her. She used to keep a stash in the kitchen in a blue wicker basket on the shelf. My mom's favorite cookies are fig newtons. Every few minutes, I had to throw the dough into the freezer to chill, just so it was more workable. It was basically like trying to roll dough in a hot box.

The filling is a blend of great tastes - dates, orange juice, vanilla, and water boiled into a jam. The dough is a simple recipe - flour, sugar, butter, vanilla, and one egg white.

Most things I could've handled back then. I wasn't reading the farmers almanac or staying up-to-date on soy bean pricing, but I was a girl in rubber boots trying to figure things out, while in the background, there happened to be some soy beans, a large vegetable garden, a neurotic dog and a cow. I wasn't a serious farmer, more like 'I caught a case of farming'.
