MYRNA'S UNCOOKED COOKIES



Myrna's Uncooked Cookies image

This is our families favorite cookie recipe, passed down for a couple generations and has evolved from 40 years of ingredient and process tweaking! It's always a big hit with anyone I serve. I've named the recipe after my late sister Myrna, from Prince George, BC who was a wonderful cook, and beautiful inside and out...

Time 30m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups oatmeal (rolled oats)
4 tablespoons cocoa
1 1/2 cups white sugar (or even a bit less)
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup milk (any milk is fine, even skim)

Steps:

  • Please read all steps before starting! Gather all your ingredients, measuring cups, spoons and lay out a couple feet of wax paper, it all comes together very quickly.
  • In a pot over medium high heat, add your butter or margarine and melt, try not to boil.
  • When the butter is melted add the milk THEN sugar, stir only enough to mix the sugar into the mixture.
  • Add the cocoa, using the back side of a spoon, press any cocoa lumps against the side of the pot (stir as sparingly as possible).
  • When the mixture comes to a boil add the vanilla, gently stir in (again, only a couple of stirs).
  • Let boil for about 1 1/2 minutes (2 minutes maximum),.
  • Take off the burner and add the oatmeal, roll the oatmeal in, again gently, minimizing the stirring (you may have to add a bit more (1/4 cup maybe) than 3 cups of oatmeal if the mixture is not thick enough to build mounds).
  • Drop onto the wax paper in whatever size cookies you desire, and let set up for awhile (which is usually about 5 minutes at our house.).
  • This will yield about 24 cookies, you can easily double the recipe, which I always do as they will go quick and they do keep well -- Hope you enjoy and will provide feedback -- :o).
  • NOTE: over stirring and/or over boiling will result in the cookies setting up too hard and they dry out too quickly.

We enjoyed these rich, buttery cookies at a bed-and-breakfast in Galena, Illinois, and the hostess was kind enough to share her simple recipe. The pretty nut-topped treats are so special you could give a home-baked batch as a gift. -Laurie Knoke DeKalb, Illinois

RENEE'S PECAN CRUNCH COOKIES



Renee's Pecan Crunch Cookies image

My grandmother baked the most wonderful cookies, cakes and breads. These she sold during the Depression to make money to help her family. This recipe is among one of my favorites, because I loved crunchy cookies and pecans. This recipe went into my hope chest in 1963.

Time 50m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
½ cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease baking sheets.
  • In a bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, and salt together. In a separate large bowl, cream the butter, 1 cup of white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth, and beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined. Stir in the flour mixture, and mix the pecans into the dough.
  • Drop the dough by tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Place 1/2 cup of white sugar into a shallow bowl. Moisten the bottom of a drinking glass with a wet cloth, and dip the glass bottom into the sugar. Flatten cookies with the sugared glass, dipping into sugar for each cookie.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 9 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool on sheets for a minute or two before removing to finish cooling on racks.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cookies spread evenly and bake more consistently.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help incorporate air into the dough, making the cookies lighter and more tender.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, making the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving: This will help them to set and prevent them from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Hungarian Pecan Cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite nuts or dried fruits. These cookies are sure to be a hit with your friends and family!
