This super-simple no-bake cookie is a great first recipe for children to make. If your kids are inexperienced or younger than 10 or 11, you should process the crumbs, nuts, and coconut and melt the white chocolate, then let the kids loose!
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 (12-ounce) box vanilla wafer cookies
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
- 1/2 cup coconut
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup orange marmalade
- 2 tablespoons corn syrup
Preparation:
In a food processor, combine vanilla wafers with almonds and coconut; process until fine crumbs form. Add powdered sugar and process until blended. Or, pour wafer mixture into a bowl and add powdered sugar.
In microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and butter. Cook on 50% power for 1 minute, remove, and stir. Continue microwaving for 30-second intervals on 50% power until mixture is smooth and blended.
Stir into wafer mixture along with orange juice, marmalade, and corn syrup.
Form 1" balls. Roll into additional powdered sugar or coconut, then let stand until firm. Store, tightly covered, at room temperature. Makes about 48 cookies.
