December 7, 2007, Newsletter Issue #207: NO BAKE BASEBALL COOKIES

Tip of the Week


These cookies are almost as fun to make, as they are to give. The chocolate does dry fast, so make sure to place the licorice pieces on right after dipping. If the melted chocolate starts to harden, simply reheat for a few seconds and continue dipping.
Ingredients 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 12-ounce box wafer cookies, crushed
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
6 pieces red string licorice
16 ounces white chocolate
Directions
Line a work surface with waxed paper. In a large bowl mix together the condensed milk, crushed cookies, walnuts, and melted chocolate. Take a tablespoonful of the mixture and roll into a ball. Place on the waxed paper and flatten gently. Repeat with the remaining dough, placing the cookies one inch apart. Cut the licorice into 1 1/2-inch pieces and set aside. Melt the white chocolate until smooth over a double boiler or in a microwave, stirring frequently. Using a fork, dip the cookies into the chocolate. Quickly, before the chocolate dries, place two licorice pieces on the cookies to form the baseball threads. Let dry thoroughly before packaging or giving.
Makes 5 dozen cookies.
Preparation Time: 40 minutes
