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. Maybe some of these are the reason.
Cookie Burger Sliders
Cookie Bake
You will need:
1/4 cup flaked or shredded coconut
A few drops of green food coloring
1 tube red decorator frosting
48 vanilla wafers
24 minuscule 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 come to be 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 someone else cookie, flat side down, on top.
Repeat. Tip: If the top cookie does not want to stick well, add a minuscule more frosting.
Kids admittedly love this one. Makes 24 sliders.
Haystacks
Melt one box of butterscotch morsels in a bowl in the microwave according to the box directions. Stir until smooth.
When melted and level add in 2 cups unsalted dry-roasted peanuts and 2 cups shoestring potato sticks.
Stir slowly 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 different nuts. You will need the potato sticks however, to make haystacks.
Not Your lowly Stained Glass Windows
Milt 1/2 cup butter and 1 box chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler. Stir until butter is incorporated and composition is smooth.
Stir in 1 box colored minuscule 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 different cereals, fruit and nuts to originate your own former cookies. Give it a try.
