I'm not what you would call an accomplished chef.
But once a year, I like to pull out this recipe, which I jotted down with my own eight- or nine-year-old hand many years ago on one of my dad's cool notepads from his job. (That's right -- his name was Duke!)
Listen Live Now on 94.1 The Sound – Relaxing Favorites of SeattleIt's a recipe for Bakeless Chocolate Cookies, and it's so simple a child could do it. In fact, a child did do it -- my son Dawson, who was seven at the time, did most of the work when we made a batch of these things.
Here's how it went when we made our November 2020 batch:
If you're going to give these a try, the only thing to be careful about is the quantities. The recipe calls for 6-ounce packages of chocolate chips and butterscotch chips, but if you're using a measuring cup I think it's better to add some extras -- use 8 or 9 ounces of each. (You probably won't find packages with anything less than 12 ounces anyway, because it's 2020 and people like to eat sweets.) And I have no idea how many nuts a "bag of salted peanuts" contained back in the day, so I just bought a can and we dumped a bunch in there -- enough so that each cookie winds up with a few peanuts.
So it takes maybe 15 minutes to combine and heat everything, another 5 or 10 to spoon them onto a wax paper-covered baking sheet, a few hours to cool and set, and . . . voila:
I wouldn't sweat the proportions too much, and trust me -- these babies are good! And good for you! (Aren't Wheaties good for you? Kind of?)
BTW, a friend of mine asked what makes these cookies right for the holidays. They're not red and green, or frosted like freshly-fallen snow, or shaped like Santa. Technically that friend is right -- unless you decide you want to call these delicious morsels "reindeer droppings." Up to you.
