Why won't my no-bake cookies harden?!
Why won't my no-bake cookies harden?
My no-bake cookies are still gooey from putting them onto wax paper over an hour and a half ago.
The recipe I used is from:
http://www.quakeroatmeal.com/
and it is called "3 minute no-bake cookies"
I ran out of granulated sugar in the process and ended up using a cup of brown sugar to complete it. Other than that discrepancy, I followed the recipe perfectly, including boiling time. I made sure to boil it for exactly three minutes like the recipe told me to.
Is the sugar subsitution to blame for the cookie's failure to harden?
I've even put the cookies in the freezer for over half an hour in a desperate attempt to harden them (and they're still a little gooey!!)
Please help! What can I do to harden them?
Answers:
once they are done there is nothing you can do to fix them.
you need to boil them longer rolling boil.take a glass of cool water after boiled for 3 min drop a drop of the syrup into the glass it should form a ball right away and fall to the bottom. then it is ready to mix.
