GRANDMA'S CLASSIC NO-BAKE COOKIES



Grandma's Classic No-Bake Cookies image

This is the first cookie I ever learned to make as a child. They're very delicious with the peanut butter and oatmeal. You can eat them fresh out of the pan in a bowl with a spoon, which is delicious with a glass of milk besides. This no-bake cookie recipe was my grandmother's, and my mother taught it to her children, and I will to mine. I hope you have as much fun making this either by yourself or with your children, as I did with my mom. Separate cookies with waxed paper if putting in a tin or baggie to prevent sticking.

MY MOM'S NO-BAKE COOKIES



My Mom's No-Bake Cookies image

This is the recipe that my mom made for us while we were growing up. Now I make them and they are my go-to recipe when I want a quick sweet treat. *1/16/12: The current picture is of the batch that fellow JAP member, Bonnie Dare, made today. She added chopped pecans to the mixture. Thank you so much Bonnie for letting me...

Categories     Desserts

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 c granulated sugar
1/3 c dutch-processed cocoa
pinch of salt
~~whisk the above ingredients together.
1/3 c butter
6 oz evaporated milk
1 1/2 c shredded or flaked coconut
2 c (to 2 1/2 c.) quick oats

Steps:

  • 1. Combine all ingredients together, except the coconut and oats, in a medium saucepan; start cooking the mixture over medium heat. Lower the heat; allow the mixture to cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • 2. Remove from the heat and add the coconut; stir until blended. Add the oats; stir until well blended. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper. Allow to cool at room temperature. Once cooled, I place them in decorative muffin/cupcake papers and store them in an airtight container. *If you like a softer texture to the oatmeal, you can add it to the mixture during the last 2 minutes of cooking (Step 1).
  • 3. VARIATIONS ~ Peanut butter (add approx. 1/3 c. to mixture while cooking) ~ Raisins, cranberries or Craisins* ~ Nuts* ~ Other dried fruits, chopped* *You might need to decrease the amount of coconut when adding these variations.

Tips:

  • Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This will help the cookies come together smoothly.
  • Use a large mixing bowl to give yourself plenty of space to work.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more powdered sugar.
  • If the dough is too dry, add a little more milk.
  • Use a cookie scoop to evenly distribute the dough onto the baking sheet.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Conclusion:

These no-bake cookies are a classic treat that is perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make, delicious, and can be customized to your liking. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of these cookies that everyone will love.
