By Diana Rattray, About.com

Easy date finger cookies are made with crispy rice cereal, butter, pecans, eggs, coconut, and other ingredients.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup chopped dates (1 small package)
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 stick butter (4 ounces)
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • dash of salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 1/2 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 1 can flaked coconut, or approximately 1 1/3 cups

Preparation:

Mix first 5 ingredients together and heat until boiling. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for about 6 minutes. Remove from heat; gently blend in the vanilla and cereal. Cool slightly and shape into fingers, keeping your hands moistened with cold water to make handling easier. Roll date fingers in coconut.
