He paints on the walls. Which is what I did. Sorta.
Well, for those who don’t know: my oven broke. As in, it’s kaputt. As in, no more cookies, right? Well, that’s where you’re wrong. And thank goodness for that, because a house without cookies, especially when it’s mine, is a very very sad house.
So here I present you with my favourite no-bake peanut butter cocoa drop cookies. They are delicious, soft, chewy and chok-full of chocolate. Mmmm-yum! And the best part is that they are so easy! And good for you, to boot!
who needs an oven? well, I do, but in the meantime....
the most delicious no-bake cookie ever
They look quite dark in these pictures because a) I used pure cocoa and b) my lighting in my kitchen is the bane of my existence. So in the meantime, you get the idea that they look ten times better than how they do in these photos.

Chocolate Fool 
My mother-in-law taught me to make these. They are a family favorite and my husband and I have been known to hide them from each other. 🙂 One day they made me a hero when I taught my great niece and nephew how to make them.
Love your blog!
Isn’t it ridiculous how something so easy to make can taste to good? ha, if only all of life could be like that =)
These sound amazing! I’d already be eating them if I had any oatmeal.
hmm run out and buy some oatmeal – these cookies will make it well worth the quick grocery run. perhaps pick up a bottle of pepto, since I couldn’t stop eating these cookies for days!
