No Bake Cookies

I love no bake cookies and Jesse can’t get enough of them.  There was awhile there that he had me making them every weekend and they were usually gone by the following Monday.

I’m currently working on trying to get a recipe down for White Chocolate no bake cookies, but I haven’t found one that works for me yet.  I did try one, but I didn’t like the marshmallows that were added in.  I have about three different recipes pinned up on the refrigerator just waiting for me to experiment with, so I’ll try and get it up soon. (ETA on 1/26/09): This is still true today…still working on this)

Hershey’s now has special dark cocoa powder! Love no bake cookies and I’ve found that using the special dark cocoa powder doesn’t make them as sweet. Which means you can go through them faster
