These mystical treats—cookies you don’t bake, candies that need no precision, an iconic dessert that a kid could stir together in five minutes—are chef Scott Peacock’s very favorite from childhood. “I feel myself blushing just thinking about that,” he told Kristen. You might already love these cookies. They take all of five minutes to make, without heating the oven (or you).

This recipe includes the tips that Scott has gathered over a lifetime.
