NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE HAYSTACK COOKIES -- LOWER SUGAR

No-Bake Chocolate Haystack Cookies -- Lower Sugar image

I modified this from recipe#106005, because I wanted a lower-sugar cookie. My target was to try to get one cookie = 15g carbs, which is one dietary carb for those who are counting. Cooking (passive) time = cooling time. Chef#163441 deserves the credit for posting an awesome, yummy and easy cookie recipe!

No Bake Chocolate Haystack Cookies image

So good and easy to make! My siblings and I made huge batches of these cookies Sunday afternoons, and they were usually gone by Tuesday! The time for boiling the mixture is listed at 5 minutes, but if you cook it a little less, the cookies are chewier.
