Cookies – No Bake Cookie Recipes
In our house cookies are a must. I suppose I spoiled our kids with homemade cookies because now they won’t touch a bag of the store-bought varieties. Perhaps some of these are the reason.
Cookie Burger Sliders
Kids really love this one. Makes 24 sliders.
- 1/4 cup flaked or shredded coconut
- A few drops of green food coloring
- 1 tube red decorator frosting
- 48 vanilla wafers
- 24 miniature chocolate covered peppermint patties
- 1 tube yellow decorator frosting
- In a zipper bag mix the coconut with a few drops of green coloring. It should become a nice lettuce-green color
- ON the flat side of a vanilla wafer cookie put a dab of red frosting.
- Arrange a peppermint patty on top.
- Add a small pinch of green coconut.
- Apply a small dab of the yellow frosting and place another cookie, flat side down, on top.
- Repeat. Tip: If the top cookie does not want to stick well, add a little more frosting.
Haystacks
- one package of butterscotch morsels
- 2 cups unsalted dry-roasted peanuts
- 2 cups shoestring potato sticks.
- Melt one package of butterscotch morsels in a bowl in the microwave according to the package directions. Stir until smooth.
- When melted and smooth add in 2 cups unsalted dry-roasted peanuts and 2 cups shoestring potato sticks.
- Stir gently until everything is coated.
- Drop onto wax paper with a large spoon to form haystacks. Cool completely.
Variations: You can substitute white chocolate or vanilla baking chips, chocolate chips, or different nuts. You will need the potato sticks however, to make haystacks.
