This cookie recipe was given to me at a holiday cookie exchange last year. This cookie was my favorite! I haven't made these cookies yet so I'm just guessing on the prep time. Ingredients:
1 cup butter |
3 eggs, beaten |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 cup boiling water |
1 1/2 cups brown sugar |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
2 1/2 cups flour, unsifted |
2 lbs dates, cut in thirds |
1 1/2 lbs walnuts, crushed in hands |
1/2 lb candied cherry, cut into fourths (red or green) |
Directions:
1. Cream butter and sugar - add vanilla.
2. Dissolve baking soda in water and add to the butter mixture.
3. Add flour and then fold in beaten eggs.
4. Add nuts and dates and mix well with wooden spoon or by hand (dough will be stiff).
5. Drop on cookie sheets with teaspoon.
6. Decorate with cherries.
7. Bake in 350 degree oven for 15 to 18 minutes.
