I've been making these every Christmas since the 1970s when Winnie Batting, a long-time family friend and my father's babysitter, gave me her recipe.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, melt butter.
- Add slightly beaten egg, sugar, coconut, dates and salt.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until thick.
- Remove from heat and add vanilla.
- Add cereal and nuts.
- Cool slightly.
- Butter hands and roll a heaping teaspoon into a ball and then add a point to make it into the shape of a strawberry.
- Immediately roll in red sugar and place on waxed paper (kids can help with this step since the faster you roll them in sugar, the better).
- When all the cookies are made, add green icing stems (I use decorator tip #349).
- When stems are firm to the touch, place in candy papers and store in an airtight container.
