NO-BAKE COOKIES



No-Bake Cookies image

These classic no-bake peanut butter and chocolate treats are also known as cow patties or preacher cookies. The story goes like this: If a housewife looked out the window and saw the preacher coming up the mountain on his horse, she could whip up a batch of these cookies in the amount of time it would take him to reach the front door. True or not, it's a good story - and a great cookie that's a cinch to put together. Combine all the ingredients in a pot over medium heat, then drop spoonfuls on a sheet pan and chill until set. Be sure to use quick-cooking oats, not instant, when making these cookies. The less-processed oats provide delightful texture and chewiness.

GRANDMA'S CLASSIC NO-BAKE COOKIES



Grandma's Classic No-Bake Cookies image

This is the first cookie I ever learned to make as a child. They're very delicious with the peanut butter and oatmeal. You can eat them fresh out of the pan in a bowl with a spoon, which is delicious with a glass of milk besides. This no-bake cookie recipe was my grandmother's, and my mother taught it to her children, and I will to mine. I hope you have as much fun making this either by yourself or with your children, as I did with my mom. Separate cookies with waxed paper if putting in a tin or baggie to prevent sticking.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use fresh ginger for the best flavor. Peeled and minced fresh ginger is best, but ground ginger can also be used in a pinch.
  • If you don't have molasses, you can substitute honey or maple syrup.
  • For a chewier cookie, add an extra 1/4 cup of oats.
  • If you want a crispier cookie, bake them for a few minutes longer.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying them. This will help them to set and develop their full flavor.
