German Rocks

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter (don't cheat and use margarine-it's not the same!)
3 eggs
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon Watkins cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon hot water
2 cups dates, pitted and chopped
3 cups chopped walnuts

Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream butter and sugar together in a large bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each.

Dissolve baking soda in the hot water and add to egg mixture and stir. Stir in the flour and cinnamon until well blended.

Add dates and walnuts and stir.

Drop by heaping spoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
