Classic no-bake cookies larn an extra particular twist inward these Vermont Maple No-Bake Cookies. They're pure Vermont maple deliciousness!
I am a huge fan of maple syrup. Pure Vermont maple syrup, to live exact. As many of yous already know, I grew upwards inward Vermont. Since moving to North Carolina (eighteen years agone later finishing college), I even as well as therefore receive got Vermont maple syrup shipped to me from my favorite Vermont saccharide shack. For me, there's simply no substitute.
So when I had the chance to endeavor Tonewood Maple's syrup, ...
I jumped at the chance. Tonewood Maple is a producer of premium pure Vermont maple products. And tin I simply state yous that I adore them already? Like totally major crush.
And here's why.
1. They're from Vermont as well as they brand maple stuff. To me, that lonely makes them crush-worthy.
2. They sent me a packet alongside their awesome syrup. I looooooove to larn packages! It's similar getting a Christmas acquaint inward the mail. Even when yous know what's inward the box! (My married adult man doesn't empathise how I tin larn as well as therefore excited virtually this.)
3. The packet arrived on my birthday. Aren't they as well as therefore sweetness to brand certain it arrived on my particular day? (I know, I know ... they had no thought it was my birthday ... but, a daughter tin pretend right?)
4. They're either clairvoyant, or read my blog. Because they sent me my favorite flat of maple syrup ... flat B, baby! I did a post virtually flat B maple syrup a piece back. Grade B is where it's at. Oh, simply accept a await at that beautiful bottle of flat B.
5. They included a hand-written complaint inward the package. I really intend hand-written notes are a lost fine art right away a'-days. But they as well as therefore convey a smile. I dear getting hand-written notes inward the mail. Thank yous for my note, Dori!
I receive got lots of maple recipes, but I wanted to brand something novel alongside my Tonewood maple. So I popped on over to Dori's blog to accept a await at the maple recipes she's shared.
I was intrigued alongside maple syrup no-bake cookies, as well as therefore I gave them a try. The ones on Dori's weblog purpose maple syrup every bit the sweetener, as well as include cocoa as well as peanut butter simply similar 'traditional' no-bake cookies. They were good. But I wanted to sense of savor more maple, non cocoa as well as peanut butter.
So I laid virtually creating my ain version of Vermont Maple No-Bake Cookies. That sense of savor maple. I volition acknowledge that this took me many to a greater extent than tries than I thought it would, but my hubby as well as I are very happy alongside the result.
I ran into a yoke of challenges piece figuring out this recipe.
The outset challenge was to honor a replacement for the peanut butter that would allow the maple season smooth through to a greater extent than fully. The solution? Almond butter. It lends the same nut butter-type base of operations to the cookies without the overpowering peanut butter taste.
The 2nd ... as well as major ... challenge was to larn the consistency of the cookie mixture right. This was really a fleck tough to run out. Since almond butter isn't every bit creamy every bit peanut butter, it takes roughly milk to give a creamy cookie texture. But likewise much milk tones downwardly the maple season likewise much. Not plenty milk, as well as the cookies don't concur together.
After several tries alongside differing amounts of butter, maple syrup, milk, as well as cooking time, I lastly establish a combination that gave the texture as well as season I was looking for ... soft, creamy texture alongside a definite maple flavor.
I had as well as therefore much fun playing alongside my Tonewood Maple sample to create these scrumptious cookies. They're pure Vermont maple deliciousness.
Thank yous as well as therefore much, Tonewood Maple!
Ingredients
- 1/4 c. unsalted butter
- 1/2 c. pure maple syrup (preferably Vermont flat B)
- 2 T. milk
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- pinch of common salt
- 1/4 c. almond butter
- 3/4 c. old-fashioned oats
- Combine butter, maple syrup, as well as milk inward a pocket-size saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once at a total rolling boil, laid timer as well as boil for a total iii minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove from oestrus as well as allow cool for two minutes. Stir inward vanilla extract, salt, almond butter as well as oats.
- Drop past times spoonfuls onto wax newspaper as well as allow cookies to cool.
Makes 12 cookies.
Notes:
- Boiling the maple syrup mixture for a total iii minutes over medium-high oestrus is really important. The mixture volition live form of 'frothy' for a piece during boiling ... don't worry. Just continue stirring!
- Getting the 'proper' consistency for the cookies tin live tricky, due inward business office (I think) to differing consistencies of almond butters as well as to variations of the achieved thickness during the maple syrup boiling process. Adjust cistron amounts, every bit needed:
- If your cookie mixture is likewise thick later stirring inward the oats, add together a teeny tiny fleck of milk ... simply 1 teaspoon at a time. The mixture goes from 'too dry' to 'too wet' pretty speedily when adding milk, as well as therefore larn slow. Also, piece the milk adds a wonderful creaminess to the texture of the cookies, it seems to tone downwardly the maple season ... as well as therefore add together sparingly.
- If your cookie mixture is likewise 'soupy' later stirring inward the sum of oats called for inward the recipe, stir inward additional oats ... virtually 1/4 loving cup at a fourth dimension ... until a 'drop-able' consistency is achieved. You may receive got to add together anywhere from 1/4 loving cup to 1 loving cup to a greater extent than oats.
Enjoy!
