This is my mom's fantastic recipe for her "No Bake Drop Cookies." They are so fantastic and rich and yummy...yeah. Enjoy!

  1. Bring 1st four ingredients to a rolling boil.
  2. count 90 seconds SLOWLY
  3. take mixture off fire
  4. Add vanilla, stir
  5. add oatmeal, stir really well
  6. drop teaspoonfuls on buttered or waxed paper
  7. cool for 30 mins.

hmm no cook, I like that. It is so hot these days I rather not have the oven on if I don't have to. I will try these for sure. Thanks.

Barrie: Yeah, I had a lot of fun making these with my grandma when I was little.

chantel: I definitely like the fact that you don't have to turn on the oven. Our house is hot enough as it is.

plane ride: your welcome!

christine: hey! That's pretty funny. Hmm...I'll have to try adding some peanut butter sometime, it sounds good.

annie: Me too. We're gonna make some tonight.

by the way, that deleted comment was mine. I just posted a comment that said "barrie:" and that was it, so it was kinda a waste of space.

And with the oatmeal added I don't even have to feel guilty. Great recipe. I'm taking these cookies camping. Thanks.

This was a recipe my mom made as well, plus one of my kids' teachers made it in grade school and called it Dinosaur Food. (We still call it that.) The cocoa was dirt, the sugar crushed bones, etc. It also had peanut butter. Yum!

Alison: That's really cute!
