Ovenless Cookies & the Coarse Nature of the Word "Laziness"

12/21/2017

0 Comments

 
     It is a truth universally acknowledged that holiday cookies are a fantastic thing. However, as much as we at the Tea Adventurers' Guild enjoy a good baking session/kitchen dance party, there are times when the idea of actually using the oven can prompt sudden fits of the profound inability to overcome inertia. The following recipe is often just the answer-- a lovely halfway point between a cookie and a candy.
​No-bake cookies can be a little temperamental in humidity, which can inhibit proper setting, but that has yet to prevent their consumption. If you like, simply toss them in the freezer for a bit and enjoy them while still frozen. It is also worth noting that substitutions can be made for the peanut butter. We have tried both almond butter and cashew butter with very pleasant results. The original, however, is still the Doctor's favorite.

The Lady's suggested tea pairings: Companion's Delight or Scarlet Women

Yield: Varies greatly depending on how generous you "teaspoonfuls" are, but we generally get about 3 dozen

Ingredients:
2 cups quick cooking oats (uncooked)
2/3 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter

Combine oats, peanut butter, cocoa, and vanilla, mixing well and setting aside.
Combine sugar, milk, and butter in small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook 1 minute.
Pour hot milk mixture over reserved oat mixture and quickly stir it all together. Immediately drop by heaping teaspoonful onto lined baking sheets, or whichever lined heat-tolerant surface is handy. 
​Let cool until set and enjoy.

    Lady Camellia Sinensis & The Tea Adventurers' Guild

    The Third Lady, to be exact. One of mystery, adventure, tea, and civility. Though all members of the Tea Adventurers' Guild like to contribute from time to time.
