DESCRIPTION
Bakery -- Coconut Hedgehog Cookies

SUMMARY
Yield 0 File under Cookies Brownies Bars

INSTRUCTIONS
Here's another recipe from my childhood. I loved these cookies since they had several of my favorite things -- dates, walnuts & coconut. They are also fairly easy!

2 cups walnuts
1 cup pitted dates
1 cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
2 cups flaked coconut
2 eggs

Preheat oven to 350F

Place walnuts and dates in a food processor and chop (when I was young this had to be done by hand!!) and pulse until medium-fine (not a paste, but in very fine pieces). Place mixture in bowl.

Add brown sugar, 1 cup of coconut and eggs and mix well. Shape dough into balls and roll in the remaining coconut.

Place on greased cookie sheet and bake for around 15 minutes (until exterior coconut coating is lightly toasted). Cool on rack. Store in air-tight tin.

(Note: you can add a shot of amaretto or coconut liquor if you like)

Spread the word
