These are one of our favorite cookies to make. And Kyle is right about the humidity. You will have to eat them with a spoon if it's humid out. (They are good that way, too.)

I have used this recipe for the past 32 years. My trick is to use real unsalted butter, canned milk, and Dutch process cocoa. They are unbelievably GOOD!!!!!

These are the absolute best! But you need to make sure the humidity outside isn't too high or else they may not set up. Sounds strange, but it's true.

I wish I knew who posted this recipe. A Marie G. shared this recipe with me 35 years ago in Auburn High School. It has been a favorite of mine all these years. I still have the original recipe card she wrote it on. It's a great cookie!

No-Bake cookies are my very favorites! You might want to add that you should refrigerate them after putting them on the wax paper though. =D

Not bad. I just wasn't expecting a very peanut-buttery taste. They are very sweet too, yet quite enjoyable.
