"BAKING" NO-BAKE COOKIES

I was getting together with friends last night, so I offered to bring something sweet and delish for us to munch on. It didn't matter that my appliances were still scattered throughout my apartment and my oven was out of commission. Still, I was determined to make something in my new, almost finished kitchen!

So, stubbornly, I browsed through a few of my cookbooks and came across a recipe for "No-Bake Chocolate-Fudge Drop Cookies". Sugar, cocoa, milk, margarine, oatmeal, vanilla, peanut butter and coconut. Mmmm....

Turns out, I had all the required ingredients, I could make it in less than 30 minutes and I didn't need an oven. Perfect! I was a little leery about the recipe - it just sounded too easy and too tasty - but I made the cookies anyways. And, you know what? They really were simple to make and so yummy to eat! I will definitely be making these again.

Mmmmm!

Warning: Don't try to make these chewy, chocolatey drops of goodness before checking that you have a good supply of coffee, tea and milk on hand! These classic bevies are a must!
