Quick and easy, delicious no-bake cookies.
If you know me, then you know I don’t like cookies. And if you don’t, you are probably thinking, seriously she doesn’t like cake or cookies? What is wrong with this girl? Well the truth is I like so few cookie-types, it is just easier to say I don’t like cookies. With that said, my favorite cookie – if you can call it that, is a “no-bake cookie”. Long ago when I was a child my mom taught me how to make these, I think the recipe used to be on the cocoa container, I just really can’t remember.
so after about a month of craving no-bakes I finally broke down and made some, I can’t remember the original recipe from all those years ago, but this one turns out good and they are tasty. Here’s the recipe, enjoy and happy no-naking!

They were good, but I agree the recipie that we used as kids was the best and I have no idea where to find it, because I think you are right it was on the side of the cocoa.
