Boiled Cookies

I found this cookie recipe in an old church cookbook, and I tried it out because it didn't require any baking and it looked really fast, which it was. They were pretty decent, but so sweet that they made my teeth ache. So here's the California version of boiled cookies, with less sugar and more chocolate. Kind of halfway between a cookie and a dark chocolate candy, and pretty darned popular.

3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup butter
4 ounces of not-very-sweet chocolate (baker's, bittersweet, semi-sweet)
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. cinammon (optional)
1/4 cup milk
1.5 cups quick cooking oatmeal
1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped nuts, your choice

If the chocolate's in bar form, break it up into smallish pieces. Nothing fancy.

Throw the butter and chocolate into a bowl together and nuke it for about 90 seconds, until the butter's melted and the chocolate's about half-melted.

While the chocolate and butter is nuking, break the egg in a small bowl and whisk it up until the yolk and white are blended.

Take a tablespoon of the melted butter/chocolate mixture and work it into the egg mixture until it's blended in well. Do this two or three times.

(The idea is to raise the temp of the egg before mixing it with all the butter and chocolate; if you go from cold to hot too fast with eggs, you get scrambled eggs).

Now dump the egg into the butter/chocolate bowl and mix everything together well.

Throw the butter/chocolate/egg mix, milk, and sugar into a sauce pan and heat at medium heat. Stir often. Let the mixture come to a boil, and keep it there for one minute.

Take the mixture off the heat and dump in the oatmeal, vanilla, cinammon, and nuts. Mix it well.

Drop the mixture from a teaspon onto wax paper and let stand for 15-30 minutes or until cooled. Makes about two dozen.

Options:

If you just want a straight-ahead chocolate cookie, drop the cinammon.

If you want something a little lively, drop a half-teaspoon of cayenne into the mix.

If you _like_ tooth-achingly sweet cookies, lose the egg and increase the sugar to a full cup. And use sweeter chocolate.

Oh yeah, if you don't want to finish them _all_ now, seal them in a plastic bag and throw them in the freezer. They don't actually freeze hard -- you can take one out of the freezer and eat it right away, whenever you want.

This recipe is also known as "No Bake Cookies". My best friend actually gave me this recipe about 10 years ago (I was about 16 at the time) and I love them. They're quick and easy. I don't think they are all that sweet, but then again, recipes do tend to differ. The recipe I have doesn't include nuts. Hope everyone enjoys them.

i'm not a fan of chocolate - but adding the cayenne pepper would make them mighty tasty (or even wasabi powder)

They probably are called no-bake cookies. The recipe I found was called "boiled cookies," but there are probably several names for it and a lot of minor variations.
Hey, I added some myself :-).

I enjoy buying church and community cookbooks at rummage sales for a quarter or so. I read them for entertainment value -- I get a laugh out of the endless variations on lime jello salad and the inventive uses of Velveeta and Kool Whip (sometimes, together!) -- but every so often I find something i really want to make.

I have a cookbook that i got in Asheville, NC put out by some women's group... the book was got purely for entertainment value, I've never seen so many uses for Velveeta (I'm not sure this is even a real food, I know it's not cheese) in one place, short of Kraft's website in my life... they just put that toxic orange sludge on everything...

Need to check to find a recipe that calls for both Kool Whip and Velveeta.. that's just frightful
