These Frosted Date Balls are easy to make and delicious! They are soft and chewy and sweet - perfect to wash down with a glass of cold milk or to enjoy with a cup of tea. A great follow up to the last recipe I posted, Banana and Date Circles, since I was able to use up the leftover dates. The only downside is that the recipe claims a yield of a few dozen cookies yet I was only able to get just over two dozen when I made them. And I wouldn't have made the dough balls any smaller. I'll be bringing this batch to my book club this evening! Make note of the serving platter which is a Mikasa pattern from the 70's courtesy of "Gracie".
1 1/4 cups sifted flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 c. sifted confectioner's sugar
1/2 c. butter
1 T. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
2/3 c. chopped dates
1/2 c. chopped nuts (I used walnuts since I already had some on hand)
I remember that plate pattern :)
