Skillet Cookies
Description
A no-bake skillet cookie made by cooking butter, sugar, egg yolks, and dates together in a heavy skillet for about 10 minutes — stirring and mashing the dates as they cook — then mixing the warm mixture with Rice Krispies, chopped nuts, coconut, and vanilla, rolling into small balls, and coating in additional coconut. A retro Southern classic that holds its shape beautifully and keeps well in a tin.
