No-Bake Peanut Cluster Cookies
A delicous made-on-top-of-the-stove cookie you'll want to sample again and again.
Top-of-Stove Cookies
Such a Unique and Delicious Flavor
Guests will be hard-pressed trying to figure out just what goes into these tasty cookies. They have a unique flavor and are soft and so very good.
Even better, you don't have to bake them in the oven. You can whip these up in about 5-10 minutes. All you need is a large pot and a few simple ingredients.
You make the mixture on the top of the stove, then drop by teaspoonfuls onto a greased pan, then place the pan into the fridge, and the cookies set up while they cool. Once solid, they can be stored in a tin.
No-bake top-of-stove cookies can be a godsend if you are pressed for time or you want to stock your freezer with tasty treats.
I first tasted these cookies over at my mother-in-law's and just had to have the recipe. I had never tasted anything like them. I couldn't pin down what ingredients had been used and was intrigued by their delicious flavor.
