Date Nut Rocks.... Passed to me from my grandmother, when I found out what was in them I was surprised and shocked that I love them! If you like coffee, they go great together.

1 C brown sugar 1/4 C cold coffee
1 egg 1 C dates
1 3/4 C flour 1/2 c pecans
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Cream oleo; add sugar and mix. Add egg, flour and coffee (small amounts at a time). Fold in chopped dates and nuts. Chill 1 hour. Drop spoonful of dough (desired size) onto cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees 8-10 minutes. |
