Oh my gosh. I forgot about these cookies! And they are sooo good. This is why this blog is such a good idea! Also, I request Grandma W.'s no-bake cookies. I am so excited to try making these!!!
ReplyDeleteI just realized that the frosting for the chocolate drop cookies is not included in this recipe. Does anyone remember what kind of frosting it was? Maybe just a pwd sugar and milk, or cream cheese? I can't remember, but I do know they were yummy!
ReplyDeleteI will definately get the no bake cookies from Grandma! If you think of any otheres definately let me know.
ReplyDeleteI think it's powdered sugar...Dad might know
ReplyDeleteI just looked up the recipe in my file. For the frosting:

Dad thinks Grandma used to put a pecan on top, but later only frosted them. He believes the nuts in the batter were finely chopped pecans.
Also, the chocolate is 2 (1oz.) squares unsweetened choc. melted over hot water.
My recipe says this makes 3 doz. cookies. Grandma used to freeze them so she must have tripled the recipe to have lots of cookies when her grandchildren were coming!
