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:

  • 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.

SKILLET DATE COOKIES

I got this recipe from my younger sister. She calls them Angel Cookies. The filling will be very hot so use caution when rolling. I love them because they are sweet, chewy and crispy.

Categories     Cookies

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

8-10 oz dates, chopped
1 c sugar
1/2 c butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 c rice krispies
1/2 c pecans, chopped
1 c coconut, flaked
NOTE: MAY DECREASE RICE KRISPIES BY 1/4 -1/2 CUP TO BE ABLE TO FORM BALLS BETTER WITHOUT THEM GETTING TOO DRY. ALSO SOME PEOPLE USE AN EGG IN THEIR RECIPE, THIS ONE DOES NOT CALL FOR AN EGG BUT YOU MAY ADD ONE IF YOU LIKE.

Steps:

  • 1. Melt butter in large heavy skillet. Add chopped dates and sugar. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently for about 4-5 minutes, until thick and bubbly.
  • 2. Remove from heat; add vanilla, rice cereal and pecans.
  • 3. When just cool enough to handle, form into small balls and roll in coconut.

Tips:

  • For chewier cookies, use light brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this will result in tough cookies.
  • Press the cookie dough down firmly into the skillet before baking to ensure even cooking.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
  • Allow the cookies to cool slightly in the skillet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

These skillet date cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are soft and chewy with a sweet and sticky filling. The cookies are also naturally vegan and gluten-free, making them a great option for those with dietary restrictions. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these delicious cookies in no time.
