Happy Holidays, Virtual advent:
I give you my Mrs.
Gwilliam’s Chocolate Fudge Cookies. Mrs. Gwilliam’s was our neighbor when I
was a little girl and my mother got this recipe from her. My mother is now 91
and I now make these no-bakes only at Christmas. They are very sweet – almost
too sweet and full of sugar. They are not something I would normally be attracted to. Once a year, they are fine.
I give you the recipe as my mom wrote it:
Bring to full rolling boil: 2 cups of granulated sugar, ½
cup of milk, ½ cup of butter, 6 tablespoons of cocoa and a pinch of salt.
Remove from range (stove); add 1 teaspoon vanilla, 3 cups of Quick Quaker Oats,
1 cup of shredded coconut and ½ cup of chopped nuts (I use walnuts). Stir
thoroughly and drop by teaspoons on wax paper and allow to cool.
Very simple. I have
had other no-bake cookies, but these are my favorite.
Apologies to those in virtual advent. I have pretty much
ignored the event I signed up for. We’ve been both sick and precoccupied.
These sound really good! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYum! I can't wait to try these!
