Chocolate oatmeal no bake cookies are simply delicious and easy to make! There are many variations including adding peanut butter or coconut. I am not sure where this recipe came from (you can find it all over the internet) but I know where I first had one of these – at Sugar and Spice, a little bakery in the Indiana Memorial Union. I also remember the first time I made these – we were moving from Indiana and I was trying use up the last bits of opened baking supplies so I sent these to my Fiancé, who moved before me to start his job. I made two batches this time, as you can see they make a good sized cookie and are rich but they were for a fishing trip with men so I thought I should count on two for everyone. My first batch set-up well but the second batch took longer, some all night to set-up so try to be patient with the cookies (I wasn’t 😉 The ones that had trouble setting up I moved to a wire rack after they were mostly set-up. Make sure you use instant (minute) oats. I did not sift my cocoa but wished I had, you don’t have to but make sure to break up the lumps of cocoa in the melting mixture.
