Description

Learn how to make these peculiar-looking, flourless frying-pan cookies. For rum-packed flavor try using a little rum extract in place of the vanilla.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups dates, pitted and chopped
1/4 cup butter
2 eggs
1 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
3 cups crisp rice cereal
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions

1 Melt butter or margarine in heavy skillet. Add slightly beaten eggs. Stir in dates, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Cook over low heat stirring constantly until thick and well blended.
2 Have ready crisp rice cereal and chopped nuts in large bowl. Stir cooked mixture into them until coated.
3 Chill. Put, by teaspoonful, on cookie sheet. Chill again. When cold, roll in crisp rice crumb and coconut mixture or powdered sugar.
