How many of you out there have made no bake cookies? I personally never had. I've always thought that they sound kind of gross. Why wouldn't you bake them? It made no sense to me. Until today. I have officially been with out an oven for a month now. It broke after I turned on the self cleaning cycle, which after having it for 3 years I was finally using for the very first time. BIG MISTAKE! It hasn't worked since. At first, it was kind of fun. A real excuse not to cook. After 2 weeks it was a little annoying. Now it has gotten to the point of ridiculousness! Can you imagine serving a spaghetti dinner with no warm bread? Well, it's just not right and I'm sick of it!
Most of this is my fault. When it initially broke, I didn't call a repairman right away. Like I said- it was fun not cooking. After I finally managed to make the call, it of course took the guy a week to get out here. Then, he of course had to order a part. So now, 2 weeks after the repairman came, I'm still waiting.
Back to the cookies, after dinner tonight, chili made by J on the stove top, J said, I really want some cookies! I had to say " sorry honey, that's not possible". He then started rummaging through my cookbooks and found an old recipe of his mom's for no bake cookies. I have to say, they were pretty good for "no bake". I would still prefer baked ones, though. But under the circumstances, I did enjoy them!
Oh, and by the way, J's chili was so good! He used some duck sausage from one of his hunts. I was honestly surprised at how good it was. I actually think it was the best I have ever had!

Oh yeah, no bake cookies are delish! I don't know about the duck though. Hmmmmmmm.
Hey! Just found your blog! I have one too. Love it!
Well now, I think, you must post the recipe for these no bake cookies!! I've never met a cookie I don't like!
I like no bake cookies but I agree with you -- nothing beats a warm, gooey cookie from the over. I love the picture collage, btw. I wish I had a designer in my family. My house needs serious help!
Mel- Duck Sausage? Really? I can't even imagine what that would taste like.
One of my favorite no bake cookies from childhood is made from concentrated orange juice, vanilla wafers and coconut - p.s. I love the picture collage too!
I love nobake cookies. One of my favorites. They are done so fast, so you can get the instant sugar rush.
Those cookies are so good, esp. with the peanut butter. I used to make them all the time with Ruthie Weaver when we lived there. And love your 'new' room!
