No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies are a delicious, chocolate-y cookie treat that can be enjoyed without using your oven.
Did you Ever have a favorite holiday homemade cookie?
These no bake chocolate oatmeal cookies are one of mine! My aunt used to make every year at Christmas she would put them on Christmas plates, wrap with cling wrap with a Christmas bow on top!
These easy no bake cookies would be so cute in a little box to give as a gift. And perfect for summer as well, no oven.
This chocolate oatmeal cookie recipe takes longer to set up than to make which makes it so easy to make a lot of batches.
What makes these cookies so appealing in the summer months is they are perfect for enjoying as an afternoon snack with a glass of cold milk or as a sweet and satisfying dessert after dinner without turning on the oven and heating up the house.
