I made these simple no-bake cookies for Easter to look like little nests. After I dropped them onto the cookie sheet, I put three candy-coated chocolate mini eggs in each nest. This idea would also work well with coconut cookies, macaroons, or meringues.
Even though the recipe called to use waxed paper, I found the cookies stuck a little bit to it, although they didn't leave bits of waxed paper on them, so it worked out okay. Next time though, I would use parchment paper.
These cookies are so quick and easy, but very tasty.
No-Bake Chocolate Oat Drop Cookies
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or hard margarine2 cups granulated (white) sugar
3 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup milk
3 cups minute oats
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sugar, cocoa, and milk. Stir occasionally until mixture comes to a boil, boil and stir for three minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Quickly mix in the oats.
Working quickly before the mixture has time to harden, drop the mixture by spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper. Refrigerate at least one hour, or until firm.
