So I think (fingers crossed) Spring is finally here. The weather was gorgeous today. I opened all the windows, lit my new fruity summer Yankee Candles and smiled 🙂 I knew I had to post something today but had nothing planned or in reserves…whoops. I was going to post yesterday but the Irish Soda Bread I made was horrible. Horrible!!! I swear. It was the most vile thing I ever tasted. Not sure what I did wrong but next time I’m going to go with a different recipe. Now back to this Spring day. I wasn’t going to ruin it by slaving away in the kitchen all day so I decided to make a childhood favorite….no-bake cookies. What is not to love about these little gems? They have an almost fudgy texture and are held together by delicious oats…yum! Enjoy!!!

I love this cookie – and what a cool looking cat!
These have been a family favorite since I was in Brownies! My mom always made them on our birthdays too! Sooooo good!
Ahhh that’s a shame about your soda bread. I didn’t get any made or even get to taste any. I love these cookies!!
Sweet!!! A no bake cookie just for me. hehehehe… I like it.
These look so yummy! I bet they would be great to make with the kids. No worries about the oven and instant satisfaction cuz kids don’t like to wait.. heck I don’t like to wait! lol 🙂
I forgot about how much I love no bake cookies!! thank you for this great reminder! Great photos here too
This is almost the exact recipe I make. Instead of cocoa powder I use 1 cup of chocolate chips. When you pour the hot liquid over them they melt along with the peanut butter. I’ve made a lot of different cookies and this is my favorite.
Excellent cookies – I love that you don’t have to bake them!
No bake cookies are always a plus in my book, and these look delicious!
and with the semi warm weather right now, who wants to heat the house with an oven anyway? These are perfect!
