MISSISSIPPI MUD COOKIES

We used to make these all the time growing up. I keep hearing them called "no-bake cookies," but this is the name my mom always called them. Even if they don't set up and harden like they should, the chocolate goo tastes mighty fine eaten with a spoon! **UPDATE: Added 11-6-06** I just tried making these again, and for the jillionth time they didn't set up right. I'm going to confer with my mother to see what I might be doing wrong. Until then...make at your own risk!

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 c sugar
1 stick butter
1/4 c cocoa powder
1/2 c milk

3 c oatmeal, (i use old fashioned oats)
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Mix sugar, butter, cocoa, and milk in skillet. stir until all are mixed together and bring to a boil. Boil for one minute, remove from heat. (make sure all is boiling and not just on the edges of the pan)
  • 2. remove from heat, add remaining ingredients. Stir well. scoop onto parchment paper and let set. Refrigeration will spend up this process.

Tips:

  • Use good-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your mud cookies. Look for a chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 60%) and a rich, dark color.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.

Conclusion:

Mud cookies are a delicious, easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their rich chocolate flavor and gooey texture, they're sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So what are you waiting for? Start baking!
