Cooking Kids

Today is the last day to enter the no-bake cookie contest. There are some good cookie contenders lined up, but there’s room for plenty more.

Here’s a little history for you about no bake cookies:

No bakes mean more than just not being baked. There should be no eggs or flour in a no-bake; they’re not intended to rise.

The first no-bake cookie recipes started appearing in the 1950’s.

The original no-bake confections were created by ancient middle eastern cooks and contained nuts, dried fruits and natural sweeteners.

No-bake cookies that resemble candies are still called no-bake ‘cookies’ because they descend from the traditional no bake confections of the anicent middle easterners.
