No Bake Cookies


It has been hot all over the country.  We rarely see the 90’s here in the mountains, but this summer is different.  Yesterday we were enjoying 97 degrees and ate a cold dinner.  But, I had a major hankering for a cookie.  I certainly was not going to turn on the oven to bake.  So, No Bake Cookies fit the bill.

I probably have not made these since last summer.  And they are so yummy.  My husband likes them really cold out of the fridge.  I like them first thing in the morning with my coffee.

Make these for your next BBQ or work potluck, you will be glad you did.

  2. These are always interesting to cook here in the South. The humidity in the summer makes them so that they usually won't harden, so I pretty much have to make them in the winter..
