Best Jonis Date Logs Christmas Recipes
JONI'S DATE LOGS - CHRISTMAS
This recipe is from my sister. Our family requests them every holiday season, and it wouldn't be Christmas without them! They are a great addition to your cookie trays and cookie tins to give as gifts to the neighbors, co-workers, friends and family. I hope you will try them, as they truly are fantastic! Word of warning::: These go fast, so make plenty!!! To avoid burning my hands from the hot mixture, I pick up the mixture with a piece of saran wrap, then squeeze it together with my hands and form the log, then roll the log in the coconut. Works great!

- Add vanilla, walnuts and Rice Krispies, and mix in well.
- Butter your hands and put enough mixture in the palm of your hand (about 2 T.). Roll into logs with your hands.The logs should be about 3" long by 1/2" wide. (The mixture will be hot, so be careful and work quickly).
- Roll each log in flaked coconut and place on waxed paper until completely cool. Store in a plastic container with cover.

Steps:
- 1. Step 1 of ingredients- Add yeast to warm milk. Add sugar and flour. Set pan in warm water and let Stand till rises. Cover. Note: do not boil. Just warm.
- 2. Step 2 of ingredients Mix ingredients of step two, reserving egg whites for step three. Once mixed, add the yeast mixture to they mixture. This makes your dough.
- 3. Step 3 of ingredients(the filling)- Grind walnuts and dates together in a grinder or food processor. If you alternate adding ingredients it will help prevent clumping. I do this step first and set aside.
- 4. Mix sugar, vanilla and egg whites. Beat until whipped and peaks. Now fold this into date nut mix. Note: this step can be done in advance.
- 5. Then take dough you made and divide into four sections. This makes it more manageable and ensures quantities.
- 6. Taking a section of your dough, aprx a Tablespoon size of dough and make balls. Smaller then a golf ball. Will need powdered sugar to prevent sticking. Roll out dough balls. Flip to get powdered sugar on each side.
- 7. Divide your date nut mix as you did your dough. Take aprx 1 1/2 teaspoon of nut mix and place in center of dough(rolled out crust).
- 8. Folding dough- Fold over bottom side. Then fold in ends (left and right side). Now fold over top. Once dough is sealed, press from center out to move filling to ends.
- 9. Pinch and form into half moons. Place seem side down on parchment lined cookie sheets.
- 10. Bake 8-10 minutes on 375. Just as it begins to golden on the bottom. Any longer they can become dry.
