Gussied up preacher cookies
Cookies
Preacher cookies hail from my Scotch-Irish ancestors who settled in Appalachia. Also known as "dump cookies" or cow pies, these guys are the all purpose, no bake, all occasion cookie. I began indulging in preacher cookies during the Christmases spent with my brother-in-laws family in Hoschton, GA. With Scotch-Irish roots of my own, I was immediately taken with these no bake cookies. I've spun the recipe into my own by incorporating ingredients more readily available in my pantry. It's the new-age cook's version. The origin of the name for the preacher cookie, as it's told, is that if you see the preacher riding up the mountain on his horse you have enough time to make a batch of these cookies by the time he reaches the front door.
