Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Grease bottom of two 8-inch-square baking pans. Sift flour with salt and set aside.
In mixing bowl, beat eggs with sugar, corn syrup, and almond extract until light and fluffy.
Stir in flour mixture, dates, and pecans, and blend well. Pour into baking pans and cook 20 minutes, or until done.
Cut into 1½-inch squares, while warm, in the pan. When slightly cool, form squares into balls and roll in confectioners’ sugar. Let cool before serving.
