Chocolate No Bake Cookies Advice

Forums:

Hi. I've made some Chocolate No Bake Cookies, but they're not settling - that is, they're staying gooey. 

I'd guess that I've used too much butter, though I didn't think I did. 

I let it roil for one minute exactly. hmmmm...

Any advice?

bake em. 

No-bake cookies have no flour, so they prob. won't bake very well.

Add more non-butter ingredients?

Hi, Richard. Well, is it the butter or the cook-time? It could be either. 

Dunno; I always make baked cookies while baked.

Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies

½teaspoon baking soda

14tablespoons unsalted butter (1 3/4 sticks)

½cup granulated sugar (3 1/2 ounces)

¾cups packed dark brown sugar (5 1/4 ounces) (see note)

1teaspoon table salt

INSTRUCTIONS

MAKES 16 COOKIES

Headnote

Avoid using a nonstick skillet to brown the butter; the dark color of the nonstick coating makes it difficult to gauge when the butter is browned. Use fresh, moist brown sugar instead of hardened brown sugar, which will make the cookies dry. This recipe works with light brown sugar, but the cookies will be less full-flavored.

Description Text

1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Line 2 large (18- by 12-inch) baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk flour and baking soda together in medium bowl; set aside.

2. Heat 10 tablespoons butter in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until melted, about 2 minutes. Continue cooking, swirling pan constantly until butter is dark golden brown and has nutty aroma, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and, using heatproof spatula, transfer browned butter to large heatproof bowl. Stir remaining 4 tablespoons butter into hot butter until completely melted.

3. Add both sugars, salt, and vanilla to bowl with butter and whisk until fully incorporated. Add egg and yolk and whisk until mixture is smooth with no sugar lumps remaining, about 30 seconds. Let mixture stand 3 minutes, then whisk for 30 seconds. Repeat process of resting and whisking 2 more times until mixture is thick, smooth, and shiny. Using rubber spatula or wooden spoon, stir in flour mixture until just combined, about 1 minute. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts (if using), giving dough final stir to ensure no flour pockets remain.

4. Divide dough into 16 portions, each about 3 tablespoons (or use #24 cookie scoop). Arrange 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets, 8 dough balls per sheet. (Smaller baking sheets can be used, but will require 3 batches.)

5. Bake cookies 1 tray at a time until cookies are golden brown and still puffy, and edges have begun to set but centers are still soft, 10 to 14 minutes, rotating baking sheet halfway through baking. Transfer baking sheet to wire rack; cool cookies completely before serving.

For High-Altitude Baking: Problem: Cookies spread too much in the oven.Solution: Use less sugar. Increase the oven temperature and decrease the baking time. Problem: Cookies are too dry. Solution: Add an extra egg or yolk.

I don't want Chocolate Chip Cookies. What's yer deal, man? 

Throw them in the fridge to set up.

You can also add more chocolate, which  I’ll be more solid than butter at room temp.

Philosophy question:

Can one bake no-bake cookies

I don't bake often or eat a bunch of sugary stuff,  but try Blackstrap Molasses to solidify the mixture.  It's like tar at room temperature, so heat it up and mix in.
