Cookies

By Museumlover

Some of you message board users probably really like to have milk and cookies while you are reading all of these intelligent posts and responding in kind. You don't have time to bake, though, so what do you do? Here are a couple of suggestions that are very tasy. Both cookies are no-bake. Just mix and eat!

Chow Mein Cookies. (I really love these!)

Melt two cups of butterscotch chips until creamy. (I use the microwave, doing it in 30 second increments)
Stir in 2 cups of chow mein noodles and 1 cup of nuts (any kind). Drop by teaspoonsful on waxed paper. When firm, enjoy.

Chocolate coconut drop cookies

Boil together for two minutes 3/4 cup butter, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup of cocoa, and 2 cups sugar. Remove from heat and stir in 3 cups old fashioned oats and 1/2 c shredded coconut. Mix together and drop by teaspoon on waxed paper. Be sure to use old fashioned oats. The Quick ones will cook! You can also add vanilla if desired.

Both of these are pretty tasty and super easy to make. I am also a huge fan of slow cookers and crockpots, along with one dish oven meals. While the Marengo Gazette probably isn't destined to have a cooking column, if anyone wants me to throw in the occasional recipe, tell management. I'm a writer and I like to write!!!
