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!<\/p>\n

I came across the recipe in the Southern Living<\/a> Cookbook a few years and after making them a few times, promptly forgot about it until I saw the recipe again on Facebook<\/a>. These little cookies bring back so many childhood memories. I hope you’ll enjoy making them and also memories of your own.<\/p>\n
