The old Gary Cooper movie, Sgt. York, is a family favorite with our entire team. In one scene Ma asks the blessing and says, "Lord bless these vittles we done got...". Hence, the name of our recipe collection.

Best No-Bake Cookies

Charlotte Sims


Best No-Bake Cookies
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1/2 c. milk
  • 2 c. sugar
  • 1/2 c. cocoa
Mix in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring until melted and combined.  Boil 1 1/2 minutes only! Remove from heat and stir in:
  • 1/2 c. peanut butter
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 3 c. oats (we like old-fashioned oats)

Drop by spoonfuls on waxed paper.  Let set and enjoy!
True confession:  we like to eat these when they're still hot and gooey.  Get a mug and a spoon, scoop up some chocolate-y deliciousness and eat raw almonds or do Hoe Downs afterwards to offset the sugar high.

Mommy made these the other day and they were amazing!  I like them better than the Durst family no bake cookie recipe.  Yikes!  That seems treacherous! These were so good and moist, not at all dry.  I think this is my new no bake cookie recipe from now on.  Hannah, Daniel, and Mommy ate some of this hot and gooey in a mug and it was delicious!  Warning- these are very rich.  So yummy!
