How about a cookie recipe today? I've got a cookie creation for you that comes courtesy of the imagination of a certain six year old little boy. My son loves no-bake cookies. He also loves helping me in the kitchen and experimenting with his own "ingredients".
These ingredients can range from flour and sugar, to say...dirt...or dog food.
Luckily his last idea involved something that's edible by humans - sprinkles and white chocolate; two more of his favorite things. We mixed the sprinkles into the cookies and had to put extra on top of course...just to make sure there was an adequate ratio of cookie to sprinkle.
These cookies turned out really good and disappeared in no time. The kid might be onto something here. Enjoy!
Amber
White Chocolate Sprinkle No-Bake Cookies
Yield: 12 cookies Printable Recipe
1/4 stick unsalted butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups quick cooking oats
1-2 tablespoons multi-colored sprinkles
Place the butter, sugar, and milk in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Continue to cook for 1 minute longer. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and white chocolate chips. Stir until mixture is smooth and the chocolate has melted. Stir in the oats. Now mix in the sprinkles and gently stir to combine. If you stir too much the sprinkles will melt. Drop by tablespoons onto waxed paper, and top with additional sprinkles. Allow to cool before serving.
What a genius idea! Looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThanks Stephanie. :)
Deleteyou had me at no bake! these look delicious and easy!
ReplyDeleteYou have one smart kid! Love the idea of no bakes that use white chocolate!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jessica! I think he's pretty smart, but I may be biased. :)
DeleteThese are brilliant! My son and I might whip up a batch tonight. :)
ReplyDeleteGood idea, every kid loves sprinkles!
DeleteSuper cute! Yay for extra sprinkles!
ReplyDeleteI love these, Amber! My daughter is almost 6 and she would love these! Your son has great ideas! And the photos are gorgeous! Pinning!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pin Averie!
DeleteI am pretty darn tempted to walk into my kitchen right now to make these. So good, Amber! (PS - I think I remember at one point that you lived in the Ozarks, do you still? We are moving to Central MO at the end of the month, I'm wondering if we'll be close.)
ReplyDeletethese would make my life better with all of the things i have to do in a day. i am a sucker for no bake recipes. gorgeous pics!
ReplyDeleteOh, these are so FUN! Usually no bake cookies are kinda ugly. Love these!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to What's Cookin' Wednesday!
You know, I don't think I've ever had a no bake cookie that's not chocolate. These sound wonderful! I'd love to have you come and link up at Taste and Tell Thursdays!
ReplyDeleteI think your son IS on to something! What a smarty pants! I need to try this white chocolate version of no-bake cookies. The addition of sprinkles is the crowning touch!
ReplyDeleteNow this is just S-M-A-R-T Amber! I think I'll be making these tomorrow as were suppose to be getting a ton of snow and I'm sure school will be cancelled! SCORE!
ReplyDeleteThese are VERY TASTY! Mine however set up very fast and didn't look at pretty. Hehe. I even timed the boiling for an exact minute. Will make these again though. I am thinking next time with vanilla bean and espresso...Mmmmmm
ReplyDeleteThanks for this recipe! Kudos to you and your son for making a straight-up white chocolate version. It might sound crazy but, I don't have access to an oven. In spite of this, I've been dying to make cookies and all I could think of were no-bake cookies. I didn't want chocolate no-bake cookies. The place I live in doesn't have butter, vanilla extract, cocoa or peanut butter anyway, so crazily enough, I made your recipe without butter or vanilla and with just sugar, a little milk and water, white chocolate and oats... And it worked! haha The cookies I made look just like yours and they're cooling in the other room. I'm so excited! I'm gonna make them many more times and I'm gonna experiment with lots of chopped nuts and fruit pieces. :) Thanks so much for helping me get cookies back in my life!

ReplyDeleteI used half the margarine, no vanilla, and mixed white chocolate with dark chocolate mint chips. The wax was equivalent..the flavor was variant. And, they Did dry very quickly, even while it was still too hot to handle..but they do have a good flavor and great texture. Thank you for sharing.
