I worked in Asheville, North Carolina where "boiled" cookies are quite popular. It seems to be another southern staple and in a cookbook from a Canton, North Carolina you'll find no less than 3 variations of the same cookie on sequential pages. The cookbook is called "Cooking With Pennsylvania Avenue School" and was put together by parents and staff.
The "boiled" part doesn't always appeal to people so I called them "no bake" and they were a huge hit. Go figure. I thought they were just okay though they're a snap to make.
So enjoy the first entry in our "Yuy" (not Yummy, not Yucky--just "Yuy") category.
