Michigan Rocks

 



My cousin, Eric sent us a batch of these cookies over Christmas last year.  I've been bugging him for the recipe ever since.  He finally sent to me for my birthday so I had to share.  They are so good.  I'm working on a new cookbook and these will be included...isn't the page cool?

Ingredients: 

1 cup butter
1½ cups sugar
3 well beaten eggs
1 tsp. baking soda
3 Tbsp. sour cream
½ tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup finely chopped walnuts
1½ cup chopped date
1 tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. salt
3½ cups all-purpose flour

Directions:


Mix butter, sugar and the well beaten eggs together.  Dissolve the baking soda in the sour cream and add to the butter mixture with the walnuts, dates, and vanilla extract.

Sift together the cinnamon, salt and flour and then stir into the mixture.

Chill for at least one hour.

Drop by rounded teaspoonful or tablespoonful portions, 2 inches apart on parchment paper lined cookie sheets.

Bake at 350ยบ until set. —17 minutes in my neck of the woods — Just until when touched lightly with a finger, almost no print remains.

Makes 4 dozen.
