No Bake Chocolate Nut Cookies

What's For Dessert? No Bake Chocolate Nut Cookies

No Bake Chocolate Nut Cookies

No Bake Chocolate Nut Cookies! You had me at No Bake and Chocolate, let alone add in nuts!

This recipe is perfect for those times when you want something sweet and don't want to heat up your kitchen, or if you want something easy to make that your kids can help with, or you need a quick easy treat to take to a party.

And if the kids help, they can take some to their teachers and truthfully say that they made them a special gift!

I always made these with my kids while listening to Holiday Music. They could feel like they were part of the big cooking extravaganza that was going on and I didn't have to worry about their getting burned while learning....

Quick, easy, delicious cookies! What could be better? Here's the recipe for the No Bake Chocolate Nut Cookies. Enjoy!

Ingredients

6 Tbs Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1 1/2 cups Sugar
1/2 cup Butter
1/2 cup Milk
1/2 cup chopped Cashews or Almonds
1 teaspoon Vanilla
3 cups rolled Oats, uncooked



Directions for No Bake Chocolate Nut Cookies

Clear an area on your counter or a table . Place towels on this and cover with with waxed paper for dropping the Cookie mixture on. Alternatively you can line Cookie sheets with waxed paper.

In a medium heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat, combine the Cocoa, Sugar, Butter, and Milk. Bring the mixture to a boil and continue to cook for 1 1/2 minutes while stirring constantly.


Make sure the mixture is boiling vigorously (with bubbles all over the surface) before beginning to count the time.


Remove pan from the heat and stir in the Vanilla until creamy and add the Oats and stir until thoroughly combined.

Drop by teaspoonfuls onto the waxed paper. I like to use a small Cookie scoop when making drop Cookies - it speeds up the process and gives the Cookies a uniform appearance.

Let cool until firm, about 1 hour. (or faster if you refrigerate)

To make larger flatter Cookies, drop by tablespoons and then flatten slightly with the back of the spoon or your damp fingers.

Makes about 3 dozen No Bake Chocolate Nut Cookies


Cookie Variations

Stir in 1/2 cup shredded Coconut with the Oats.

Stir in 1/2 cup dried Cranberries or Raisins with the Oats.

No Bake Chocolate Nut Cookies, Yum!

Ingredients You Can Order and Keep Around
So You Can Make S'mores Pie in a Hurry

It used to be that you had little choice and had to go grocery shopping whether you enjoyed it or not. But these days that's all changed and you can order lots of food online. I take advantage of Amazon Prime and get free shipping all the time. I order all my staples and canned goods and soft drinks and wine online. Then all I have to shop for locally is dairy products and fresh produce. It really makes sense now that the price of gas is so high. Plus it's much easier. It comes to your door. Gotta love that!

Quick Gourmet Recipes for Busy People

Quick Gourmet recipes photo
Gourmet food lovers want great food but often don't have time to make it, due to the world we live in now. So I gathered some recipes that are fantastic tasting, but can be prepared really quickly.

There are great chefs on the web with lots of wonderful recipes, but many of those recipes are complicated and I just don't have patience for that. If I want a really great gourmet meal, I would rather go out. 


So everything I make is EASY. But life is too short not to eat well, so Quick Gourmet became my mission. Here I share my tips for eating well the fast and easy way!

Good Food Starts With 
Good Ingredients

It's true, gourmet food usually means exotic ingredients. 

But it does not have to mean hours 
in the kitchen, or the store. 

Keep a few basics around so you 
can whip up a great meal 
in 30 minutes or less.

A Few Tools are Essential for a Quick Gourmet

I would not want to live without my convection oven or my bread maker or my crock pots. And good storage systems help you stay organized, another way to do things quicker.

Convection Ovens Rock!
Quick Gourmet

Microwaves are unhealthy. Convection ovens cook twice as fast as regular ovens and don't hurt your food. Essential for a quick gourmet! Sometimes people laugh at me about my opinion on this. So I tell them to Google "microwave oven concerns."

A Breadmaker is Wonderful to Have for Fresh Bread
Quick Gourmet

Homemade bread is one of life's pleasures not to be missed. With a breadmaker you can have healthy bread around all the time with no preservatives!

Crock Pots! Throw in the Food and Forget It!
Quick Gourmet

Crock Pots are one of the most versatile gadgets you can own in the kitchen. I use them for everything: soups, sauces, meats, vegetable side dishes, even hot dessert toppings. That way I don't burn the food. (I'm easily distracted)

Organize Your Kitchen
Quick Gourmet

Organizing your kitchen will make it easier to cook quickly since you won't be looking for things you put away "somewhere."
