1 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup chopped dates
1 cup finely shredded coconut
Butter a 2-quart casserole dish generously. In a separate bowl, beat eggs and add sugar and
vanilla and almond extracts. Stir in the rest of the ingredients and place everything in the
buttered casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes. Stir a few times during the
baking period. Remove from oven and cool at room temperature, stirring occasionally. When
cool enough to handle, form into small balls. Roll in granulated sugar. Be sure to keep hands
buttered before forming balls or mixture will stick to hands.
