Steps:
- In saucepan, combine dates, butter, water, cardamom and cloves.
- Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes or until dates become a paste.
- Let stand at room temperature 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, in mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well; add shortening and milk. Knead into dough, adding more flour or milk if necessary.
- Divide dough into 4 parts then roll, one at a time, to about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Divide date paste into 4 parts and roll each out, between sheets of wax paper, to match dough size.
- Remove wax paper; place date layer on dough. (If date paste is too soft, gently spread each portion on dough with knife.)
- Roll into cylinder, jellyroll style.
- Slice rolls into 1-inch pieces and place on greased baking sheet.
- Bake in preheated 325F oven 35 minutes or until cookies begin to turn golden brown.
- Let cool.
