Sprinkle Date Cookies
From the kitchen of Stephanie Knewasser.  I found this at
allrecipes.com & changed it a bit.  The original recipe called for
1 c finely chopped almonds & only 2 1/2 c Rice Krispies.  It also called
for the cookies to be rolled into "strawberry" shapes, rolled in red
sprinkles, then topped with green frosting leaves.  I did it, but found it
all very time consuming.  Next time, I'll just roll them in balls & coat
them in sprinkles.  I think they'd look better served in cupcake papers.
In a large skillet, over medium heat:
1 c butter
1 c sugar
2 eggs
8 ounces chopped pitted dates
Cook & stir 5 minutes or until butter is melted & sugar is
completely disolved.

Gradually stir in:
1 c flour
1/2 tsp salt
Cook 5-7 minutes.

Remove from heat & stir in:
1 tsp vanilla
5 c Rice Krispies cereal
Roll into balls, then coat in sprinkles.
Frosting embelishment optional.

Freeze well.
