Frogs (aka Macaroons)

"Attention grabbing name isn't it!? We call them frogs where I live but I have heard of them referred to as Macaroons, No-bakes and even "blots". No matter what the name, they are DELICIOUS!Cook time includes time in the fridge."

  1. When I was a kid on PEI, we called these spider cookies. The recipe is perfect, and incredibly easy. Takes me back...
     
  2. I make mine with peanut butter in them. We call them cow pies where I live.
     
  3. These are a family favourite with us and a true delight to our guests. I do make this on every ocassion I get to :) Excellent keeper recipe!
     
  4. This is a favourite recipe of mine. In South Africa they're called "funeral cookies" because if someone dies, it's quick and easy to make. I thought that was horrible and did smile when my boys changed the name to "landmines" - we had an alsation and it was the kid's job to clear the garden before visitors came of "landmines". Good recipe, makes lots. It doesn't work if you use soft margarine though, in place of butter.

Hi Everyone! I have just changed my image here on 'zaar. The big bird in the pic is none other than me, BirdyBaker. It was from Halloween 04. I made the costume myself and it was so much fun!. I am a highschool student and I love photography,painting crafts and everything else artistic. I LOVE to write, anything, from essays to fiction to poetry. It's so much fun! I also am very interested in Asian culture and want to work in Japan someday. I have a passion for cooking and try to cook as much as I can, trying to make a different dish each time. I am just crazy over my 3 birds, George Arthur, Bailey and Jazzy, hence the name "BirdyBaker"...lol
