no bake cookies for hot times

No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies Recipe #23821
These are wonderful, quick cookies. It is one of the first things I learned to 'cook'. You can add more or less oats (3 cups work best for me). I have found that the weather makes a difference on the consistency. It is very important not to boil them for longer than a minute.
