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. Possibly some of these are the reason.

You will need:

Cookies - No Bake Cookie Recipes

1/4 cup flaked or shredded coconut

A few drops of green food coloring

1 tube red decorator frosting

48 vanilla wafers

24 wee 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 wee more frosting.

Kids assuredly love this one. Makes 24 sliders.

Haystacks

Melt one container of butterscotch morsels in a bowl in the microwave agreeing to the container directions. Stir until smooth.

When melted and flat 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.

Makes about 2 dozen.

Variations: You can substitute white chocolate or vanilla baking chips, chocolate chips, or separate nuts. You will need the potato sticks however, to make haystacks.

Not Your commonplace Stained Glass Windows

Milt 1/2 cup butter and 1 container chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler. Stir until butter is incorporated and composition is smooth.

Stir in 1 container colored wee marshmallows.

Pour the composition onto wax paper and roll to for two by 6 to 8 inch logs. Cool in the refrigerator until hardened.

When hardened, slice into thin slices with a sharp knife. Makes about 24 1/2 inch slices.

Twisted Ranger Cookies

1 bag marshmallows

1 stick butter or 1/2 cup margarine

Melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and stir until melted and creamy. Just like you do with rice cereal treats.

To the melted marshmallow composition add

2 cups rice cereal

1 3 ounce can of flaked coconut

1 cup pitted dates

1/2 cup nuts, optional

2 cups cinnamon sugar flavored cereal

2 cups honey nut oat cereal

Stir until all cereal and fruit are covered. Pour composition into ta buttered baking pan. Press down firmly. Cool. Cut into squares. Makes about 36.

Variations: You can use the marshmallow base and separate cereals, fruit and nuts to create your own former cookies. Give it a try.
