| Ingredients: |
- 1 Stick butter or margarine
- 1 Egg
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Chopped pecans
- 1 pk (8 oz) dates
- 4 cup Rice Krispies
- Salt
- Vanilla extract
- Coconut or powdered sugar
|
| Directions: |
- Combine butter, sugar, egg, and dates in a heavy saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until just starting to boil. Add pecans; cook 10 minutes. Continue stirring. Remove from heat. Add dash of salt, vanilla, and Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread into a buttered 9x13 pan. Sprinkle top with coconut or powdered sugar. Cut into bars or small squares when cool.
- Note: We make these cookies as a bar, but the original recipe called for making 1-inch balls and rolling them in coconut or powdered sugar. They are certainly more decorative as balls, but spreading them in a pan tastes just as good.
