Baptist Cookies

I'm starting to be more active on my SCK facebook page. I kept saying that once I got to 100 followers I would make these Baptist Cookies as my first LIVE video. Well, I reached that goal and made these cookies. I do need to learn to take more still shots though!

These are a no-bake cookie. They reminded me of a Rice Krispies treat but instead of a vanilla flavor from the marshmallows, it's got more of a caramel flavor from the dates. They were a hit with everyone in my house. Although I did put them in the fridge, they are better enjoyed at room temperature. 

Here's my interpretation of the recipe:

Baptist Cookies

2 Tablespoons of butter

1 cup of dates

1 egg, well-beaten

¾ cup of sugar

Cook on slow fire; stir

2½ cups crispies

½ cup chopped pecans

Cool, form balls

Roll in coconut or crushed pecans

*I used unsalted butter

*I broke up the dates

*I smashed the dates while cooking to get them to melt

*I rolled them in coconut

*I got about 30 cookies using a cookie scoop

I hope you enjoy and give this recipe a second chance in your kitchen too.
