Food, Decor, Kids: No Cook-ies

No Cook-ies! No Cook, No Bake Cookies

No Cook-ie, as in No Cook-ing, is my kind of recipe! It all started because my first child loved to lick the bowl back when I actually baked Cookies. Being a child, he whined for more Cookie Dough. So I started saving more and more of the Cookie Dough for him to lick from the bowl while the Cookies baked.
And then one day it hit me. Why cook any of the dough? He liked it raw. I liked no cook-ing. And then I reasoned that since I wasn't baking the dough anyway, why add Baking Soda or Baking Powder? And since I did worry a little about the raw Eggs, why bother with them either? Voila, Cookie Dough was really getting to be easy!

From then on Cookies became "No Cook-ies" and the next two kids grew up on "No Cook-ies." The last one was 5 years old before he knew that other moms baked their Cookies. I told the kids that Cookies in the store were baked so they would last longer but real homemade ones are raw. I swear little kids will believe anything!

Now they sell Cookie Dough Ice Cream...so you can see I was way ahead of my time! Enjoy my simple No Bake Cookie Recipe or No Cook-ies, for a quick and easy and delicious "Cookie break " anytime!

"C" is for "Cookie."
