I remember these no-bake cookies from childhood. We would have them about once a week in elementary school as dessert at lunch. This was the one day there was actually something my finicky little self would eat!
I came across the recipe in the Southern Living Cookbook a few years and after making them a few times, promptly forgot about it until I saw the recipe again on Facebook. These little cookies bring back so many childhood memories. I hope you’ll enjoy making them and also memories of your own.
Chocolate No-Bake Cookies made with peanut butter, oatmeal and cocoa, an easy treat without turning on the oven.
