These no-bake date and crisp rice cereal cookies are shaped into strawberries and topped with a colorful stem . Serve them when you want to offer something fun and different. Ingredients:
1 package (8 ounces) chopped dates |
1/2 cup flaked coconut |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/4 cup butter, softened |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
dash salt |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1-1/2 cups rice cereal |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
red colored sugar |
green candied cherries or green confectioners' icing |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, combine the dates, coconut, sugar, butter, egg and salt. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture thickens and reaches 160° or is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla, cereal and walnuts. Cool for 10 minutes.
2. With slightly moistened fingers, shape tablespoonfuls into strawberry shapes; roll in red sugar. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Decorate tops with pieces of green candied cherries or pipe leaves on strawberry tops with green icing. Yield: about 4 dozen.
