These have just a few ingredients and really are fudge-like in consistency and probably after all these years considered candy although the teacher said they were cookies.
They are a chocolate lovers' delight and with the addition of being in rolled into assorted nuts or other suggestions we have below make these a whole other level of yumminess.
We have so many picky eaters in our home, so I roll them in sprinkles, nuts, and coconut and let them choose what they like.
It is sort of a candy cookie, and perfect for a potluck, a Christmas cookies tray, and just a nice little pick-me-up treat for a sweet tooth fudge cookie lover.
If you're not fond of baking cookies you're going to love this recipe ( this one doesn't have peanut butter) for no-bake cookies.
Perfect for gift giving,and great to teach new little learners of cooking in the kitchen.
There are step-by-step instructions in the printable recipe card at the end of this post.
