This recipe from my sister originally made a pie. But I decided to turn it into a cookie with mouthwatering results. They're so easy to make and very tasty.Jessie Bethune, Trion, Georgia Ingredients:
1 cup sugar |
1/4 cup finely crushed saltines (about 15 crackers) |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1-1/3 cups flaked coconut |
3/4 cup chopped pecans |
1/2 cup chopped dates |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3 egg whites |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine sugar, cracker crumbs and baking powder. Stir in the coconut, pecans, dates and vanilla. In a small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; fold into coconut mixture.
2. Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 300° for 12-14 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks. Yield: 3-1/2 dozen.
