How to Make Angel Flake Cookies

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter over medium heat. Add 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup chopped pitted dates.
  2. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture becomes a thick, brown, and well-combined caramel.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
  4. Stir in 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal, 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Mix until all ingredients are evenly combined.
  6. Once slightly cooled, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
  7. Roll each ball in 1 cup of shredded sweetened coconut until fully coated.
  8. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  9. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
