How to Make Fry Pan Cookies

  1. Preheat your frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease a large heavy-bottomed frying pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat 2 large eggs and 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Stir in 1 cup pitted dates, chopped, and 1/2 cup dried cherries, chopped.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared frying pan.
  5. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 10-15 minutes, or until the dates are soft and the mixture is slightly thickened. Reduce heat if necessary to prevent burning.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
  7. Stir in 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal, 1/4 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts), and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  8. Stir in 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut (reserve 1/4 cup for rolling).
  9. Once the mixture is lukewarm, shape it into 1-inch balls.
  10. Roll the balls in the reserved shredded coconut.
  11. Place the cookies on a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet to cool completely before serving.
