1 cup butter

SKILLET DATE COOKIES

I got this recipe from my younger sister. She calls them Angel Cookies. The filling will be very hot so use caution when rolling. I love them because they are sweet, chewy and crispy.

8-10 oz dates, chopped
1 c sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract
2 c rice krispies

NOTE: MAY DECREASE RICE KRISPIES BY 1/4 -1/2 CUP TO BE ABLE TO FORM BALLS BETTER WITHOUT THEM GETTING TOO DRY. ALSO SOME PEOPLE USE AN EGG IN THEIR RECIPE, THIS ONE DOES NOT CALL FOR AN EGG BUT YOU MAY ADD ONE IF YOU LIKE.
