In a mixing bowl, combine dates, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1/3 cup milk. Cook over medium heat in a saucepan until very thick. Remove from heat then add nuts and lemon juice. Set aside to cool.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour and soda. Set aside. In another bowl, combine shortening, salt, lemon rind, 1 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup milk. Stir in flour mixture and mix until well blended. Divide dough into 2 or 3 balls. With a floured rolling pin, flatten each ball into a 12-inch square (use wax paper if too soft). Spread with cooled date mixture over the squares. Roll each into a log and chill until firm. Cut into 1/2-inch slices. Bake on greased cookie sheet at 375° for 10 minutes or until done.
Note: Prepared dough logs can be frozen until ready to slice and bake.
