Cookies

Children really enjoy baking, but it can be difficult to allow them to do it on their own. The risk of a hot oven is just too much for them to deal with and it can result in some serious injuries occurring. One solution is to allow them to make no bake cookies. They are very easy to make and they taste delicious. Your children will have a great time making them and eating them. At the same time you can relax because they won’t need to use the oven to make them.

No bake cookies are also better for your health wise than most other types of cookies out there. Several of the ingredients that are in them are quite filling too so kids won’t want to eat a handful of them before they feel content. The basic ingredients for no bake cookies include cocoa, oatmeal, and peanut butter. You will also need some vanilla, sugar, and butter.

You really can’t go wrong when you make no bake cookies. You don’t have to worry about burning them. However, you will want to avoid making cookies that are dry tasting or that crumble easily. The secret to having moist cookies that stay in their form is to mix the wet ingredients and then let them boil for two minutes before you remove them from the stove top. Immediately add the dry ingredients and stir the mixture thoroughly.

Have a large piece of wax paper on a section of the countertop before you start making your no bake cookie mixture. Immediately after you have finished mixing everything together, place spoonfuls of the mixture onto the wax paper. Don’t worry if they aren’t perfectly round in shape, they don’t have to be. You can make them as thick or thin as you want them to be.

Make sure you allow the no bake cookies to cool completely before you eat them. This way they will have time to form completely. They will also lift up from the wax paper with ease. Some people like to store the no bake cookies in the refrigerator but it is up to you. This is a very easy to make cookie that everyone will enjoy eating.
