No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies Like Grandma Used to Make
Sending cookies to a soldier, Marine, or sailor overseas? These are a perfect choice. Despite the fact that they're chocolate, they do well even when sending to Iraq (think desert heat). I've sent multiple batches to my sons and they've always told me they arrived intact, no problem at all. Just be sure to send plenty so they can share with their buddies.
If you're like many people who have tried this recipe but something always seems to go wrong (sticky cookies, too soft, too dry), look below for my tips and secrets for making the perfect batch.
Enjoy!

I love no bake chocolate oatmeal cookies and made them just this weekend for guests staying in our rental cabin. My recipe is just a little different, calling for butter and boiling for 2 minutes. I love the ease of no bake cookies, especially during the summer.
