Growing up my mom was always one to share her talents; one of them was "doing hair" she had certain ladies who came over all of the time to achieve their certain look. One of them became quite a good friend and would bring us a tray of goodies each Christmas. This is how I was introduced to one of my favorite holiday treats. I actually have no reason to believe this is a holiday treat but receiving it each year nestled in with various other sweet confections has solidified the connection in my mind. (probably a good thing or I would be making them all of the time).
Grizzle Nickel Cookies are a thick and rich bar cookie more like candy really than a cookie. My mom's friend would make them even yummier but cutting them into squares and dusting them with powdered sugar.
Grizzle Nickel Cookies
1 can sweetened condensed milk 1/2 cup coconut
6 oz chocolate chips 1/2 cup chopped nuts
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
Mix all ingredients, bake in a 9 inch square pan at 350F for 30
minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes, cut into squares and roll in powdered sugar.
Thanks Sandra, for all of the yummy treats over the years!
