Time 30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 (8 ounce) package chopped pitted dates
1 egg, beaten
3 cups crispy rice cereal
1 cup chopped coconut
½ cup chopped drained maraschino cherries
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 ½ cups flaked coconut

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add sugar and dates to the melted butter; stir until the sugar dissolves, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Remove skillet from heat, add egg, and stir quickly to prevent the egg from cooking.
  • Return skillet to medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a full boil, 4 to 6 minutes; cook at a boil, stirring constantly, for 1 minute more.
  • Remove skillet from heat. Stir rice cereal, chopped coconut, chopped cherries, and vanilla extract with the dates. Let mixture cool until beginning to firm, about 10 minutes.
  • Shape mixture by rounded teaspoonful into 1-inch balls. Spread flaked coconut into a wide, shallow dish and roll balls in the coconut to coat.

Tips:

  • To make sure your skillet cookies are perfectly cooked, preheat your oven to the correct temperature and cook the cookies for the recommended amount of time. Overcooking can result in dry, crumbly cookies.
  • For a gooey, chewy center, remove the cookies from the oven just before they are completely set. Let them cool slightly in the skillet before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
  • If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular baking sheet. Just be sure to grease the sheet well so the cookies don't stick.
  • Get creative with your toppings! You can add chopped nuts, chocolate chips, dried fruit, or even a drizzle of caramel sauce before baking.
  • Skillet cookies are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. However, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Cherry date skillet cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their chewy texture, gooey center, and sweet and tart flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give cherry date skillet cookies a try!
