Angel Cookies Recipe

submitted by reader B.J. Brown of Oxford, MS

Ingredients
4 egg whites
Pinch of salt
2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup chopped dates
1 cup chopped nuts
Instructions
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Beat egg whites with salt for 3 minutes. Add powdered sugar and beat 10 minutes. Fold in dates and nuts, and drop by tablespoons on greased and floured cookie sheet. Bake for 25 minutes. Watch—they burn easily. Makes about 30 cookies.

Tips From Our Test Kitchen: Be sure to add the dates and nuts the last minute before baking or the cookies will become flat rather than fluffy. Sprinkle colored sugar on top, if desired.
