I make a lot of homemade granola which is delicious and economical but my neighbor delivered some no bake chocolate oatmeal cookies. I had not had one since I was a kid. I don't know why because they were delicious and I always have a ton of oatmeal.

I just made some more. The sugar content is 17g per cookie which is high and you'll feel it after eating one but oh man oh man are they good.
No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies Recipe


These are wonderful, quick cookies. It is one of the first things I learned to 'cook'. You can add more or less oats (3 cups work best for me). I have found that the weather makes a difference on the consistency. It is very important not to boil them for longer than a minute.
