This cookie recipes comes from the 1941 Purity Cookbook. It was one
of the first recipes my grandmother taught me to bake. Baking cookies was a
favorite pastime with my grandmother. I bake cookies a lot just for the memories
of her.
Ragged Robins

1/2 lb. dates (stoned & chopped)
1/2 cup glazed cherries
1 cup walnuts
1-3/4 cups corn flakes
1/2 cup white sugar
Beat egg whites until stiff, add vanilla and salt. Combine the rest of
ingredients and add to egg white mixture. Drop from a spoon on to greased
baking sheet. Bake in a slow oven (325 deg. F.) for 15 minutes, or until
lightly browned. As with anything with egg whites, just watch for over
browning.
