Mom's Old-Fashioned No-Bake Cookies

Hi, lovely! Today I thought I'd share one of my all-time FAVORITE recipes because I loooove no-bake cookies. I even went through a 'make-no-bake-cookies-every-single-day' phase because it's easy, quick, and incredibly delicious... wins all around!

I have tried countless different recipes and none of them have turned out nearly as delicious as my mom's. Every time I make them they're gone in 10 minutes. I mean, nothing can beat a mother's recipe, right?!

Well, I won't delay you any longer... here it is!

TIPS

You have to move quickly while making these cookies, so I suggest having the ingredients in their proportions ready to go.
This recipe can make about 30 small cookies, but I usually make about 20 larger cookies.
A lot of recipes will tell you to let them cool for an hour, but I personally think they're best when they're still warm and gooey, after about 10 minutes.

Well, that's all there is to it. Enjoy these amazingly delicious cookies!
