Notes
The most important part to a no-bake cookie is making sure you boil it properly so that they will set. Here are a few tips to make sure!
- Use a thermometer: Boil until it reaches 230 F. Once it hits this temperature remove from heat because you don't want to over boil.
- Use a time: Boil for exactly 1 minute and 15 sconds after it reaches a full roling boil.
- When you see bubbles that look slighlty crisper and the texture of the syrup changes it is done.
