Ritz Cracker Cookies

Shared with me by: Ardyce B (former co-worker)

These are unbelievably good

Ingredients

  • 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk
  • 8 oz. pkg. chopped dates
  • 1/2 c. chopped pecans
  • Ritz Crackers

Frosting

  • 3 oz. low-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 c. butter, softened
  • 1 t. vanilla
  • 2 c. powdered sugar

Instructions

In a large glass bowl, cook condensed milk and dates in microwave until thick (on high about 6-7 minutes total). Stir every 2-3 minutes. DO NOT OVER COOK. You can also use a double boiler. Stir in chopped pecans.

Spread filling on crackers and place on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for about 6 minutes (watch so they don't get too brown).

Cool on wire racks lined with paper towel.

Frosting: Mix cream cheese, butter, vanilla and powdered sugar. Frost each cookie.

NOTE: These cookies can be frozen.
