No-Bake Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Oatmeal Cookies (Cow Patties)

I am a huge fan of no bake cookies, the first one I mentioned were the Swedish Chocolate Balls that I used to make as a kid. This batch I got from The Brown Eyed Baker who recommended this for those moments when you are desperately craving something sweet and chocolaty but don’t have a lot of patience. I can tell you that this will solve that craving and warning these are addictive.
I even had a few spoonfuls before they could set, so that is a warning to you, you will eat some out of the bowl.
And if you have kids I am sure they will love to make this with you, just like the Swedish Chocolate balls.
These could not be easier to make and the original name of these are Cow Patties, I don’t think I have to tell you why.
What kind of no-bake cookies do you make?

Anything with “no-bake” in the first paragraph always catches my attention
Love all the flavors and textures you have going on in this cookie. Definitely on the must-do list.

Hi, Ewa. Yes, these do look good, but I think I’d skip the bovine name!
Thanks,

I’ve never made no-bake cookies before but they would definitely be perfect for those nights where I need a cookie and I NEED IT NOW! But don’t feel like baking.
Delicious!

This is something for me. Actually, I do not like to bake cakes, but I like quite a lot all desserts and cakes that do not require oven and baking
my daughter would love them, too. Have a nice weekend

I love these no-bake cookies, my mom always made them. They’re a really satisfying snack, Diva Espresso on 85th and Greenwood sells them. I find myself in that area regularly so I sometimes stop for one.

We made these at my family’s annual cookie baking party last Christmas. Chocolate and peanut butter has to be the best combination ever!!

Can’t believe how delicious these look and how easy they are to make.

Our favorite babysitter used to make these for us back in the 60′s. We loved them because they were delicious, but we also loved that we were eating Cow Patties!
Thanks for reminding me of those days.
