Christmas Casserole Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup finely chopped dates
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup chopped walnuts
flaked coconut (additional for rolling)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs until lemon-colored. Gradually beat in sugar. Beat in extracts. Stir in the dates, coconut, and walnuts. Pour into an ungreased deep 2-qt baking dish.
Bake for 30-35 minutes. Remove from oven; stir with a wooden spoon (batter will appear moist and sticky). Place baking dish on a wire rack. When cool enough to handle, roll batter into 1-inch balls. Roll in additional coconut; place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets.
