My grandmother makes these no-bake cookies whenever my cousins and I come to her house, and they’re always gone in a matter of minutes! Just one try and I guarantee you’ll love them, as will anyone else who eats them.

prolly really bad for you 
These were great, but just a little thick. I used to make a very similar recipe with my mom when I was young, and I was hoping that these would have a similar texture. Great recipe, but next time I'll cut down just a tad on the peanut butter and oats. Thanks so much for posting! My husband gives 2 thumbs up, he already ate 3. :)
