No Bake Cookies

Submitted by Kayla LaFord

This is a super easy recipe to complete! This is something my mother taught me at a young age. It is originally from my grandma who was very important to me. It is chocolatey peanut oatmeal goodness! You don’t need much time or many ingredients, it’s very likely you already have most of them on hand. The reason it is no baked is because it doesn’t get put into the oven at all!
