I purchased the book “No-Bake Cookies” because I wanted to find my mom’s old recipes for no-bake cookies. The book, while it had tons of other great recipes, did not include any recipes that came close to the no-bake cookies I love. When I was growing up, I used to make Chocolate Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies because it was one of the only things in my mom’s cookbook that didn’t involve using the oven, just one big pot on the stove top.
Occasionally, my mom would make a different version of the no-bake cookies. These extra special cookies were butterscotch, not chocolate. Again, this recipe was not in my new “No-Bake Cookies” cookbook, and I was quite disappointed. I’ve searched all the cooking websites several times trying to find a recipe that could produce similar cookies, always with no results.
As luck would have it, my mom still has her old hand-written cookbook. I found two recipes that I had thought were gone forever: Chocolate Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies and Butterscotch Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies. Now that I have these recipes, I plan on stashing them securely in between the pages of my own cookbook and here online.
