Coconut Date Balls

"This old fashioned cookie is not baked in the oven, but made on the stove top. My mom called them Skillet cookies. Cook finely chopped dates with butter and eggs in a skillet for about 20 minutes. The dates will break down and crate a smooth mixture. To this, add Rice Krispie cereal and chopped nuts (walnuts). Drop by spoonful onto wax paper, and allow to cool enough to handle. Then form into balls and roll each in coconut. A perfect addition to a holiday cookie tray!"
