Frying Pan Cookies

Dessert 🍰Snack 🍿 American Vegetarian 🥦

Frying Pan Cookies deliver a fudgy, date-studded center wrapped in a light, crispy crunch from rice cereal and coconut. Buttery and gently spiced with vanilla, they set up in the fridge and finish with a dusting of confectioners’ sugar for a nostalgic bite. Ideal for make-ahead dessert trays, holiday swaps, or an anytime sweet nibble.
