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 doesnt. For a less ambitious cookie that uses a recipe similar to just the base, search for no-bake chocolate coconut snowballs.
Mexican wedding cookies. Also known as snowballs or Russian tea cakes, these are buttery nut-based balls rolled in powdered sugar. Many recipes online; heres cookie queen Maida Heatters version.
