The absolute easiest cookie you'll bake! All the baking is done in a casserole dish!

Provided by Roz Blair

Categories     Cookies

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 large eggs
1 c granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp almond extract
1 c chopped dates
1 c flaked coconut
1 c toasted walnuts, chopped fine
1/2 c additional granulated sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 2-quart deep baking dish with non-stick spray and set aside. In a large bowl beat eggs until lemon-colored. Gradually beat in sugar and extracts. Stir in date, coconut and chopped nuts. Pour into greased casserole dish and bake 30-35 minutes. Remove from oven and stir with wooden spoon (mixture will be moist and sticky). Cool dish on wire rack until cool enough to handle. Roll into 1" balls and roll in additional granulated sugar. Yield: 4 dozen

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will be. Use real butter, not margarine, and use good-quality chocolate chips.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The cookies should be baked at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes. If you bake them at a lower temperature, they will be too soft. If you bake them at a higher temperature, they will be too brown.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting: If you frost the cookies while they are still warm, the frosting will melt and run off.

Conclusion:

Christmas casserole cookies are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for the holiday season. They are easy to make and can be made with a variety of different ingredients. With a little planning and effort, you can make Christmas casserole cookies that will be the hit of your holiday party.
