Nanaimo bars. This Canadian specialty is a no-bake three-layer bar: a base of nuts, coconut, graham cracker crumbs and melted chocolate; a middle of custard or buttercream frosting; and a chocolate top. Caveat: Many recipes call for an egg in the bottom layer to help hold it together; this one doesn’t. For a less ambitious cookie that uses a recipe similar to just the base, search for no-bake chocolate coconut snowballs.

Ginger snaps: Most molasses cookies and ginger snaps use eggs, but the recipe for Aunt Big’s Gingersnaps in Mark Bittman’s “How to Cook Everything” is egg-free. Bittman describes them as “not too sweet … super-crisp, the kind that stick in your teeth.”

Yogurt chocolate chip cookies: An easy drop cookie that — except for yogurt replacing the eggs — uses the same ingredients as the Toll House classic.

(5,100 posts)trying my best to tough it out here at home. Besides, I paid cash for this house (poor excuse of one, that it is)... I'm gonna hope to die in my own bedroom someday. But I will admit, the sound of "assisted living" hasn't been sounding so bad the last few months!
