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.
