Time 50m

Yield 35-40 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup butter
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup coconut
8 ounces chopped dates or 1 1/2 cups dates
1 dash salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
red sugar
green icing

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, melt butter.
  • Add slightly beaten egg, sugar, coconut, dates and salt.
  • Cook, stirring constantly, until thick.
  • Remove from heat and add vanilla.
  • Add cereal and nuts.
  • Cool slightly.
  • Butter hands and roll a heaping teaspoon into a ball and then add a point to make it into the shape of a strawberry.
  • Immediately roll in red sugar and place on waxed paper (kids can help with this step since the faster you roll them in sugar, the better).
  • When all the cookies are made, add green icing stems (I use decorator tip #349).
  • When stems are firm to the touch, place in candy papers and store in an airtight container.

Tips for Making No-Bake Strawberry Cookies:

  • Fresh strawberries: For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe strawberries. Frozen strawberries can also be used, but they should be thawed and drained before using.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your cookies will taste. Use real butter, pure vanilla extract, and high-quality chocolate chips.
  • Chill the dough before shaping: This will help the cookies hold their shape better. If the dough is too warm, it will be difficult to work with and the cookies may spread too much.
  • Be patient: No-bake cookies need time to set. Don't try to rush the process by putting them in the fridge or freezer. Let them set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before enjoying.

Conclusion:

No-bake strawberry cookies are a delicious and easy treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and they can be made in just a few minutes. Plus, they are no-bake, so you don't have to heat up your oven. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dessert, give these no-bake strawberry cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
