Ragged Robin Cookies

Description
Purchased from the O'Banion Estate in Mesquite, Texas in 1984. Notation on paper indicates this is a family favorite and comes from the 1941 Purity Cookbooks. I took these to last year's cookie exchange and they were a huge hit. This is a very pretty cookie, great for gift giving.

Ingredients
2 egg whites 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1/8 teaspoon salt Â½ pound dates, chopped Â½ cup glazed cherries 1 cup walnuts 2 cups corn flakes Â½ cup granulated sugar

Directions
Beat egg whites until stiff. Add vanilla and salt. Combine dates, cherries, walnuts, cornflakes and sugar. Add to egg white mixture. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet. Bake in a 325 preheated oven for 15 minutes.
