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.

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!

Tips:

  • Use good quality chocolate: The chocolate is the star of these cookies, so make sure you use a high-quality semisweet or dark chocolate.
  • Don't overcook the chocolate: The chocolate should be melted but not scorched. Overcooked chocolate will be bitter and grainy.
  • Use a large bowl: You'll need a large bowl to mix the ingredients together. A regular mixing bowl may not be big enough.
  • Chill the cookies before serving: This will help them to set and firm up.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container: This will help them to stay fresh for up to a week.

No-bake chocolate haystack cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or a sweet snack at home.
