No-Bake Macaroon Cookies (Jessica Lewis via Cook Along With…..Hammonds Plains District Girl Guides of Canada)

 

I cooked up a storm this weekend, so I was glad to find this no-bake recipe on the list.  I love macaroons.  They’re tasty, and easy, and help you win friends and influence people.

Concern yourself for hours over where to find a whole coconut, and how to shred it appropriately.

Assume they meant package.  Puzzle over how big a package.  Use the package you’ve already got in the cupboard.

Puzzle over the interesting use of commas in the first instruction.  I see they opted for regular comma and superfluous comma, but not Oxford comma.  Strange.

Mix together the oats, cocoa and coconut.

Boil together the sugar, butter and milk.

Wonder why the hell they call it a no-bake recipe if you still have to contend with boiling sugar-butter-milk mixture.

THAT LOOKS TERRIFYING!  If I were baking, it would be confined to the inside of my oven.

Mix the wet and the dry stuff together.

Wonder aloud how anyone ever decided they might try to make this.  Wonder why they didn’t stop at this point.  Doesn’t that look gross?

Spoon the mixture onto a cookie sheet and let cool until hard and not sticky.

Ply your friends with them for future favour extraction.  Muah-ha-ha-ha!
