Eskimo Snowballs
What!?! We are half way through the 12 weeks of Christmas Cookies? I'm having so much fun I don't want to stop! This was a very busy week for me and it got me to thinking... Maybe I should make a "no-bake" cookie since let's face it at one point or another during the holidays we all have one of those weeks. You know where before you know it's Thursday and you've either forgot to bake cookies for an upcoming event...or your husband drops the bomb of unexpected company coming over and you are too busy throwing things in closets to bake cookies while watching out the front window to see when they pull in the driveway. Hmmm, sounds like I'm kinda familiar with that one, doesn't it? I believe we all need one or two of those quick no-bake cookies in our recipe stash for the unexpected.
Eskimo Snowballs
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 tbsp. water
1 tsp. vanilla
6 tbsp. cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
4 cups quick cooking oats
powdered sugar
flaked coconut
chopped nuts
Cream the butter, water, and vanilla together. Add the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and oatmeal; mix well. Roll dough into 1" balls and roll in either powdered sugar, flaked coconut, or chopped nuts. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

You were talking about me, right? lol. Definitely a great cookie to have in the recipe box to pull out in cases of "emergency entertaining". I also make up balls of cookie dough, freeze them on a tray and then pop them into a ziploc bag to bake later. They can defrost as the oven preheats and then voila! Instant homemade fresh from the oven goodies. If you can resist the frozen balls of cookie dough calling your name from the freezer, that is ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove the no-bake idea! I definitely need more of those in my recipe box. Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteI love no-bake! Great cookie to make with Andrew!
ReplyDeleteAll I have to say is YUM, YUM, YUM :)
ReplyDeleteOh those are perfect! I'm always on the lookout for no bake cookies that don't contain peanut butter (my daughter's allergic).
ReplyDeleteI'm stealing this recipe right now! :)
I've seen regular snowball cookies before but never these. That's great that they don't have to be baked, so they can be made in a flash. They sound like delicious bites of chewy goodness. Thanks for introducing me to something new.
ReplyDeleteLove the no-bake! They look great!

ReplyDeleteThese look great and sound so good, kind of like cookie dough(which I love), but on purpose:) It is nice to have a no-bake cookie up your sleeve when needed!
ReplyDeleteLOL. I am not a big fan of unexpected guests either! But these cookies sound amazing!
ReplyDeletePerfect for the season. Love the name. Yum!
ReplyDeleteHow perfect for the holidays! I love no bake cookies for my holiday cookie trays, I always do at least half and half!
