Mom's Christmas Cookies

The best thing about these cookies today, beside how good they smell and how pretty they are, is that I know my mom is baking them in her kitchen this afternoon, too.
She has made this recipe for years.  I don't know where she got it so to me, they are Mom's Christmas Cookies.  Enjoy!

Mom's Christmas Cookies

1 pound chopped dates

1/2 jar chopped cherries

1/4 pound walnuts/pecans

2 eggs

1 1/2 cup sugar

2 sticks butter

2 1/2 cup flour

1 t. baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon

Cream sugar and butter.  Add eggs. Mix well.

Mix the dry ingredients and mix in a little at a time to the sugar/butter mixture.

Stir in the dates, cherries, and nuts.

Bake at 350 for 8-12 minutes.

*We have a nut allergy in our house so no nuts at all in our cookies.

Still delicious!*
