Date Kisses

This is a meringue type cookie that could be mistaken for candy, delicious. Prepare to make a second batch, there aren't very many & they go fast. I use the diced sugared dates, much easier to work with in this recipe.

2 egg whites
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup sugar (I use superfine)
3/4 cup chopped dates
1 cup chopped pecans
1 tsp. vanilla

Beat egg whites & salt until they hold a peak. Very gradually, add sugar while beating continues. Carefully fold in chopped dates, nuts & vanilla.

Drop 1 inch apart on well greased cookie sheet.

Bake at 250 F for 45 minutes.
