Time 1h10m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups sugar
2 1/2 sticks (1 1/4 cups) butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup good semisweet chocolate chips, plus extra for topping if desired
1 cup milk chocolate chips, plus extra for topping if desired
1/2 cup white chocolate chips, plus extra for topping if desired
16 ounces semisweet chocolate

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Using a mixer, cream the sugar and butter until fluffy, scraping the sides once. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Mix in the vanilla.
  • Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a bowl, then add in batches to the mixer, mixing until just combined after each addition. Gently mix in the semisweet, milk and white chocolate chips.
  • Using a cookie scoop, add generous 1-tablespoon portions of dough to a baking sheet (about 12 portions). Repeat with the remaining dough and additional baking sheets. Dot the top of each cookie with 2 to 3 chocolate chips if you'd like them to really show up on top. Bake until the cookies are barely done and are still soft and chewy, 9 to 11 minutes. Don't overbake! Let cool on a baking rack.
  • Melt the semisweet chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water.
  • Dip the cookies one by one into the melted chocolate to coat, then transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets to set.

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 15m

Yield 24-48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup 1% low-fat milk or 1/2 cup 2% low-fat milk
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup sweetened coconut

Steps:

  • Melt butter in large sauce pan, add milk, sugar and cocoa powder. Bring to medium boil and boil for 1 minute. Any longer and the sauce will harden too much when cookies set. Any shorter and the cookies may not harden enough.
  • Remove from heat and add rolled oats and coconut. (I usually premix the coconut and oats). Mix well with wooden spoon and drop onto parchment or wax paper. You decide on the size of cookies you want. These cookies take about a 1/2 day to a day to set depending on the size.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the cow pies will be.
  • Chill the mixture before shaping it into balls. This will help the cow pies hold their shape better.
  • Roll the balls in chopped nuts or coconut. This will give the cow pies a nice crunchy coating.
  • Freeze the cow pies for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help them firm up and make them easier to eat.

Conclusion:

No-bake cow pies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and they can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them plain or covered in nuts or coconut, no-bake cow pies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
