Aaron has mentioned several times this month that he would like some cookies. I would always agree but would do nothing.....that is until tonight.
I have felt oh so lazy lately and didn't feel like starting a cookie that took longer than 10 minutes from the start to the tasty end. That's why these cookies popped into my mind.
I've always really liked "No-bake cookies" when friends have made them but never made any of my own. Now that I know how little effort goes into them? I super love them.
I did a quick search on the Internet and found a recipe that had all of the ingredients I had at home.
In case you don't want to follow that link (trust me you do to see all of her other goodies) here is the recipe. The reason I really like this one is that it only makes 12 cookies- just right for 2 little people.

- Melt the butter then remove from the heat
- Stir in the cocoa, sugar and salt until well blended then stir in the milk. Bring the mix to a boil and remove from the heat.
- Stir in the peanut butter, vanilla and quick oats.
- Then drop the mix by the spoonful onto a cookies sheet
- Place in the freezer for 20-30 minutes
- Enjoy!

You'll like this recipe too... http://witandwhistle.com/2012/02/16/healthy-no-bake-cookies/
Just made it tonight for the first time (thinking alike?) And they are really good and even easier than the stove top ones. Plus guilt free... I made the oat bran option. and if you can't find chia seeds I don't think it would matter. They don't add flavor just nutrition.
Too funny Jessie! I actually looked at that recipe first (Melissa mentioned one with agave nectar and I found it..)but the chia seeds scared me a bit..so I searched for the ones I made. I'll have to give them a try!
Uuuuhhhh, 12 cookies? Not enough!! lol, There's no bake bars that are similar to these (but different). Jessie tried it I think but I haven't heard how they were yet!
@melissa311....lol...well if I could I would eat WAY more than 12, but I know I shouldn't so try to keep myself in check. Sometimes. A little....
