How to Make Texas Christmas Cookies
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) or 350°F (177°C). Beat 2 large eggs well in a large bowl.
- Gradually add 2 cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, 2 cups chopped walnuts, 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, 1 cup raisins, 1 cup chopped dates, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 4 cups all-purpose flour. Add ingredients in the order listed, mixing well after each addition.
- Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined. The dough will be thick.
- Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake in a slow oven: 12 minutes at 350°F (177°C) or 15 minutes at 325°F (163°C) for softer cookies. Baking time may vary depending on your oven; check for doneness after the minimum time. Cookies are done when edges are lightly browned.
