No Bake Chocolate Haystack Cookies

Recipe #106005 | 15 min | 15 min prep | add private note

So good and easy to make! My siblings and I made huge batches of these cookies Sunday afternoons, and they were usually gone by Tuesday! The time for boiling the mixture is listed at 5 minutes, but if you cook it a little less, the cookies are chewier.

This gets 5 stars in my book, because it's relatively more nutritious than other cookies, as well as being delicious! I cut back on the sugar a bit, using about 1 1/2 cups instead of a full 2 cups. I added the walnuts also, but increased them to 3/4 cup, and toasted them first. YUMMY COOKIES! Thanks for this quick and easy recipe, Shawnee TX!

    This is one of our favourites too since a long time now. These are truly delectable and go so well with kids, big and small. I haven't tried it with marshmallows or walnuts. I'll bet this only gets yummier!
