This one is a delicate and tasty treat that is perfect for fancy showers or parties. It takes a little time but is really quite simple and incredibly impressive. This one comes c/o my precious grandmother-in-law, who in all honesty puts Martha Stewart to shaaaaaaaaame.
{What you need}
2 boxes vanilla wafer cookies
1 cup crushed pineapple—drained
1 cup finely chopped dates
1 cup finely chopped walnuts
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, well beaten
2-3 cups powdered sugar
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Cook together until it starts to
thicken. Cool. Spread 1 teaspoonful or so between two
vanilla wafers and roll each filled cookie in powdered sugar. Put in air tight
container and age 24 hours or a
little less. These do not keep for
a long time as they continue to absorb moisture, but I have recently discovered
that they can be frozen and kept for some time.
