This is the original recipe for a cookie that won the 2nd Pillsbury Bake Off. They contain dates, pecans, maraschino cherries, cornflakes and a kiss of vanilla extract. I have followed the original recipe but you G-F members will see my modifications for you in the Ingredints below.
I've adapted the recipe for gluten intolerant folks - you'll love it! I get requests for these and so will you.
There will be grammas and grampas out there who remember a mom, grandmother, or aunt who made these tasty, crunchy, chewy cookies for an after school treat back in the 1950s.
This will be a very pleasant forced march down memory lane for most folks. It's a huge hit with young and old.
