This is by far one of the easiest cookie recipes that I have ever encountered. These no bake cookies take next to no time to make and don't have a ton of ingredients that you have to keep on hand to make them with either. They are also a great cookie for the hot summer months as they do not require baking.

They are a cookie that can be made in the heat of summer without having to turn on the oven and heat up the house. You simply make these using one of the burners on your stove top to heat the sauce and your counter top to set your cookies out on to cool. In just minutes from start to finish you can have delicious and nutritious cookies that the whole family will enjoy.

No-Bake Cookies:

Add into a medium sized sauce pot:

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup margarine (or butter if you prefer)
1/2 cup milk (I use 2% but you could use a lower fat milk as well)

Once these ingredients are added into your sauce pot, mix them together, and bring this sauce to a boil over medium to medium-high heat. Stirring constantly let this mixture boil for about 5 minutes.

Remove your sauce pan from the heat and add in the vanilla and the dry ingredients:

1 tsp vanilla
3 cups oats
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 cup cocoa

Stir this cookie dough until all the dry ingredients are covered with a chocolate coating. Drop by teaspoonful onto waxed paper and allow to cool. Note: Cookie mixture will become less apt to hold together as it cools so try to work as quickly as possible to form cookies while mixture is still warm. This whole process should take about 10 to 15 minutes from start to finish.

Voila! You will have just created a very easy and delicious treat that the entire family will enjoy nibbling on. And the nicest part of this whole cooking experience will be that your kitchen remains just as cool as when you first started making your cookies.
