1 c. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. nuts (any kind)
1/2 c. raisins
1 egg
2 tsp. brandy (optional)
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 c. coconut
1/2 c. packed cut-up dates

Soak raisins in a little hot water (retain). Mix flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter, mix well. Stir in nuts, dates, coconut, raisins with water, and egg. Mix well. Chill 1 hour. Shape in 4 inch balls, flatten with a fork. Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degree oven. I like to double this recipe.
