Skillet Cookies?

OK, when someone says cookies,
everyone automatically thinks of mixing,
shaping, either by hand or with a cookie
cutter, and finally baking, right?

Well, this is a delicious recipe for the
top of the stove; this is not a recipe for
children to make, and if they do, there
needs to be close adult supervision.
The recipe calls for:

*2 eggs

*¼ cup butter (not margarine)

*1 cup chopped dates

*¾ cup sugar, (I have used Splenda and
they come out great)

*1 cup chopped nuts, your choice, my
preference is pecans

*2 cups rice crispies

*Coconut (to roll them in)

In a large skillet over medium heat
combine:
Eggs, butter, dates and sugar, cook
until it makes a ball (or clings together
and pulls away from the side of the
skillet).

Stir in nuts and rice crispies until
thoroughly mixed, allow cooling for 10
minutes. Butter hands (keeps the
mixture from sticking to your hands) and
roll into 1 inch balls, roll in coconut and
place on waxed paper, flatten with the
palm of your hand or a fork.

Place in refrigerator and allow to cool
completely.These are delicious cookies
that everyone loves; the recipe can be
adjusted for individual taste.

I was told that any type of fruit that is
dehydrated like the dates, can be used,
but havent tried this. If there is someone
in your family who doesnt like nuts,
make half the cookies before adding ½
cup of nuts to the balance and put them
on a separate cookie sheet.

If a family member doesnt like coconut,
do the same thing, make half of them
without coconut and then add coconut to
the balance of the recipe.

If you take these to a party, be sure to
write down your recipe, because
everyone will want it.

This is a great addition to a recipe file
that you are setting up for a bride, they
are excellent stovetop cookies.
