This one is a real humdinger! Humdinger Cookies (12 Cookies of Christmas - Recipe 3)

Recipe: adventuresineverydaycooking.co... Sweet and crunchy, these Humdingers are fantastic!! The Humdinger is our third recipe in The 12 Cookies of Christmas (and recommended to me by my friend Angelica). When she told me about this recipe, I had a hard time imagining how these would turn out, but I was super surprised that they were really easy to make and quite delicious!

Have these before n they are awesome! My mom & grandmother used to make these all the time.

I love seeing this recipe being passed around- they are also great rolled in shredded Coconut

Yes, chopped pecans!
I love the pinch of salt- I just use salted butter.
If you overcook, they don't stick together as well.
These are the only thing with dates Chloe will eat.
If you pack tighter, they are more solid to chew- we do a mix or tight and loose. And yes, the powdered sugar should fall all over the place!
We make those each year and it was fun to watch you make them- you nailed the recipe!

My original recipe has
2 sticks butter (actually it said oleo or parkay!)
1cup sugar
8oz dates
2cups Rice Krispies
1cup pecans
1tsp vanilla
We only boil for 1-2 minutes because we have made hard crunchy humdingers before by over boiling.
