3711.0. "COOKIES: No Bake Recipes" by GRANPA::TTAYLOR (undercover angel) Sun Dec 13 1992 16:19

    I am searching for recipes for the following cookies, none of which I
    believe are cooked or baked in the oven, but rather, refrigerator
    cookies.
    
    1) Peanut Butter Balls (PB covered w/confectioner's sugar & sometimes
       had rice crispies inside w/ the PB).  I don't believe these were
       baked.
    
    2) Chocolate refrigerator cookies (don't know the name, are made from
       chocolate and have oats or coconut in them, I'm not sure which. 
       These are refrigerated and not baked.
    
    3) Date balls (made out of dates and rolled in either coconut or else
       walnuts?)  Again, these were not baked.  None of these cookies were
       crisp, they were rather chewy.
    
    All of these were desserts given when I was a young girl in the school
    cafeteria.  So it's 1/2 nostalgia and 1/2 looking for a simple cookie
    recipe that makes we want these receipes.
    
    Please post here if you can help!

	Check out note 363.70 for a "no-bake cookie" recipe. Also note 363.96 has a wonderful date ball recipe ( I just made these last week - they were great!). Lila
3711.2	Peanut Butter Balls	MCIS2::CONNAUGHTON		`Mon Dec 14 1992 07:56`	7
	The book, Diet For a Small Planet has a recipe for something similar to Peanut Butter Balls. I think you stiffen peanut butter with a little dry milk & then roll in powdered sugar or coconut. I can look up the recipe if you wish. -Sue Ann
3711.3	Note 43	AIMHI::OBRIEN_J	Yabba Dabba DOO	`Mon Dec 14 1992 13:08`	3
	Try the P-B bars in note 43 -- they're addictive. Everyone always thinks they're P-B fudge. Delicious and easy. I use the creamy P-B, my family doesn't care for nuts.
3711.4	Yes, please post .2	GRANPA::TTAYLOR	undercover angel	`Wed Dec 16 1992 13:50`	6
	RE: .2 Yes, please. It sounds like the PB balls I've eaten. Thanks for posting!

	Peanut Butter Log (From Diet for a Small Planet) 1/2 cup peanut butter 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 Tablsp. non-fat dry milk 1/2 cup raisins 2 Tablsp. honey shredded coconut or powdered sugar Blend peanut butter & honey, then work in enough powdered milk to make mixture fairly stiff and easy to handle. Knead in the raisins (or Rice Krispies?), distributing them evenly. Roll into a log that is 1 inch thick and 10 inches long, OR mold into balls. Roll in coconut or powdered sugar. Chill.
3711.6	Help!!!!!	GRANPA::TTAYLOR	undercover angel	`Thu Dec 17 1992 09:05`	2
	Help! I made the chocolate refirgerator cookies last night and they didn't get hard ... they are all gooey. Am I doing something wrong.
3711.7	chocolate rum balls	SALES::LTRIPP		`Tue Aug 03 1993 14:10`	10
	Can someone either post, or point me towards a recipie for chocolate rum balls. A no bake variety. I remember they take the plain chocolate wafers, butter, rum and maybe something else. I can't remember the exact quantities. I've got all the ingredients in the house, but can't get it together! Lyn
