RECIPE: Sugar-free No Bake Cookies

21 years ago

Sugar-free No Bake Cookies

6 Tbs sugar free Nestles Quick

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup margarine (or I can't believe it's not butter or Mooove over

butter)*

1/2 cup skim milk

1 cup coconut

3 cups quick cooking oats

Mix first 4 ingredients until smooth (with mixer or food processor). Mix

in

coconut and oats until well combined.

Place wax paper on a cookie sheet. By teaspoonfuls or tablespoonfuls,

roll

into balls and place on cookie sheet. Refrigerate 1 hour. Store in

refrigerator. Quantity varies depending on size of cookies.

* some margarines can be cooked with and some can't so use what is

available

in your area that can be used for cooking. If you are preparing these

for a

diabetic with renal problems, "Mooove Over Butter" is the best choice.

"I

Can't Believe It's Not Butter" is next in line.

This recipe sounds good and I'll try it. Thanks - sugar free recipes are hard to find. I only use food with 3 grams of sugar or less. Monica

RECIPE: Recipe for soft sugar cookies w/ icing?
Q
Comments (13)
I am so very sorry it took me this long to get you the soft sugar cookie recipe. These are just like the ones you can buy in a supermarket: soft, bland and loved by kids. Soft Sugar Cookies for a crowd 1 cup butter 2 cups sugar 2 eggs 2 tsp vanilla 1 cup milk 4 tsp. baking powder 6 cups flour 1 tsp. salt Cream the butter and the sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Alternate milk and the flour mixture to the batter. Refrigerate before rolling out dough. (I roll out onto parchment paper so I don't have to add more than a sprinkling of extra flour). Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. When cool, ice with your favorite icing and decorations. (My MIL notes here "Uf bitm the cookies are horrible!") My kids adored these cookies and they are very spoiled about homemade goodies.

Gluten Free Cookie Recipes
Q
Comments (1)
Baking gluten-free is a challenge and also expensive. The flours can cost 10 times that of AP flour ($5.50 vs 55c per pound) and many recipes call for ground nuts that start at $8 per pound. I do have a great TNT cookie recipe that uses no flour and has no dairy (casein free): Nancedar GFCF Peanut Butter Cookies Makes about 3 dozen 2 large eggs 1 1/4 C sugar 2 t baking soda 1 t pure vanilla extract Beat together using a stand or hand mixer. 1 C creamy peanut butter 1 C crunchy peanut butter Beat into the bowl with the wet ingredients on low. Do not over mix or they will be grainy. Let sit for 1 hour at room temperature. Use a small scoop to form balls, put on parchment paper covered baking sheets, flatten slightly with crisscross of a fork. Bake in preheated 350F oven for 6 minutes, reverse the sheets, and bake for another 4 to 6 minutes. Let sit on the sheets for 5 minutes then remove to cooling racks. Store airtight (doubled plastic bags). I sometimes add 1/2 C to 3/4 C chocolate chips for Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter cookies but you must check the ingredients list to be sure there are no milk solids if you want them to remain dairy/casein free. Toll House does have milk. Nancy

Question about Sugar Color and Baking Cookies

Thanks for the feedback. I did change it up in the second batch but I just realized that I didn't describe my process in my haste to finish the post. More info... I used commercial aluminum bun pans lined with parchment paper. The first batch I had two pans, both had red on one half and green on the other. One pan was placed in the middle of the oven and then other was in the upper third. Both pans had red on the left half and green on the right half. My initial thought was uneven heating left to right. Top to bottom I expect, but both pans were very similar, so if there was a difference top to bottom it wasn't that great. For the second batch I put all green on one pan and all red on the other. I put the red pan in the upper third and green in the middle. The green pan had darker bottoms across the board. I'm going to try the same recipe next week. Only this time, I'm going to do all red in one batch and all green in the other. That's probably the only way I'll know for sure.

I have been using your recipe for almost a year now. I love it. My daughter and grandchildren love it, but what surprises me is my little dog loves it. One addition I have tried a few times is: cut up about 6 dried dates into 1/2 cup of water (instead of the milk) and let sit for 15 minutes to rehydrate. Then follow recipe. I also add chopped nuts or chopped dried apples sometimes. I made a batch today and they're in the refrigerator chilling. Then I will try to dip the balls in melted chocolate. My diet allows me to have 8 grams of sugar so I can find dark chocolate with a lot of looking.

One other point, I have found that two packets of sugar-free hot chocolate mix equal 6 tbs. of Quick. Thanks again for the recipe - it is wonderful. Monica

MonicaTX,

You should not be giving this to a dog. Chocolate can be fatal in any form, although Quik doesn't have that much in it to begin with. As you refer to your "little" dog, I'd be very cautious about this. It's not the caffeine, it's the theobromide that's in cocoa that will kill a dog.
