This is more like a candy then a cookie. Jim’s sister Phyllis gave me this recipe in the 70′s. Phyllis didn’t cook much from scratch but she had some really great goodie recipes. I really miss her!
Melt 1/2 pound margarine, then add 1 pound cut up dates. Beat 2 eggs and add with 1 cup of sugar. Boil all ingredients together for 5 minutes over medium heat stirring constantly. Let cool.
Put mixture in a large bowl. Add 5 cups rice krispies. Mix together. With buttered hands roll into balls and coat the balls with chopped pecans or coconut.

And if you want another recipe to use up the Rice Krispies I have another one.

Every year at Christmas time at home I would take a tray of goodies to my dentist’s office. Would you believe this was their favorite My daughter gave me this recipe a long time ago.
-
2 lbs. white bark (Instead of the white bark you may use Nestlé's white chocolate chips)
-
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
-
2 cups dry roasted peanuts
-
3 cups crisp rice cereal
-
2 cups miniature marshmallows (the colored ones make this candy look festive)
Melt bark and peanut butter together in microwave in a large bowl. Stir every minute until melted. Add nuts and cereal to the melted mixture. Stir in marshmallows. Drop by teaspoonful on wax paper and let cool. Freezes well so you can make this way ahead.
