This has been handed down through three generations in my family. It's an easy no-bake cookie that adds color to a Christmas plate.

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.

I had a little trouble getting the cookies to brown evenly, but they still tasted great. I'll try cooking them for a little less time next time.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
