No-Bake Cookies - Bachelor's Buttons

Well, like I said, I am back again today with the no-bake cookies. I stumbled upon this recipe while looking for something else!! I saw the link in google and thought, how do u make a cookie without baking it? Now, this I must read!! After reading the very simple recipe, I bookmarked it for another day. And that day was today.

Here's the link to the original post and below my version. I didn't use any butter or milk in the recipe.


Ingredients
Marie Biscuits - 30
Sweetened Condensed Milk - 2/3 cup
Unsweetened Cocoa powder - 1 tbsp (adjust based on your cocoa pwdr)

For the topping
Icing sugar - 2-3 tbsps
Sugar flowers or Cadbury's Gems

Preparation
Quarter biscuits, powder and sift
Add cocoa to the sifted biscuit powder
Sift into a large mixing bowl
Pour in condensed milk
Bring together to form a ball, if it doesn't come together add a tsp of milk
Divide into equal sized balls
Roll in icing sugar
Place sugar flower or cadbury's gems on top

And it is ready to serve!! I got around 22-25 cookies from the above measures. I am sending this off to Madhuri @ Cook-curry nook for her Blog's 1st anniversary event - Choco Fest! Happy First Anniversary Madhuri!!! :)

Hi Geetha, It is amazing to see Bachelor's Buttons coz my mom was a Cookery teacher way back in the 80's and this was one of the dishes she would teach her students and I would get to eat... Just got nostalgic.. Miss those days... will surely make few for my brats. Thankyou!!
