No bake cookies
are fun
to make, especially with children as there are no hot ovens involved,
and they usually don't take long to make either. However, it isn't just
kids who like to make these teatime treats, also called fridge cookies,
for obvious reasons.
I love making these,
because basically I am a lazy cook who likes recipes for food that
take the least amount of time, with the least bit of effort. If you are
are cook like that, then I hope you will enjoy these easy no bake
cookie recipes we have for you.
