Spring Madness Cookies

Happy Springtime! I love this time of year and love playing outside with my kiddos. I also love it when they ask for my home made cookies! Ok that is all a hunk of baloney! I made these cookies for myself. I just hope the kids like them. They are so yummy to me. I hope you like them too!

Spring Madness Cookies

1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 c chopped walnuts
1/2 c chopped almonds
6 chopped dates
1/4 c chopped craisins
2 T cinnamon
3 egg whites

Directions:
I started by toasting all the nuts together on a baking pan at 400 for about 10 min. Keep a close eye on them. You just want them lightly toasted or you can do this in the microwave (put all nuts in a single layer and microwave for about 3 min). Lower oven temp to 350 degrees. Mix all chopped nuts, date and craisins in a large bowl. In small bowl mix egg whites and cinnamon until well mixed. Add liquid mixture to nut mixture and mix well. Use your hands to form into cookie balls and place on greased baking sheet. Makes about 14-16 cookies. Bake 350 for 12-14 min. Enjoy Bikini Style!
