Frying Pan Cookies
From: my grandmother’s recipe
Source: Possum Kingdom Lake Cookbook

2 tablespoons butter
1 cup white sugar
2 Eggs -- beaten
4 teaspoons salt
1 package dates
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup chopped nuts
2 1/2 cups rice krispies
Flake coconut

Melt butter in frying pan, take off flame. Add sugar, eggs, salt and dates. Cook over low heat. Add vanilla, nuts and rice Krispies. While still warm form small balls and roll in coconut.

NOTE: These cookies keep for a long time in an air-tight container. At Christmas I roll them in colored coconut.
