Make No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies Recipe Ahead of Time!
I also like my chocolate no bake cookies recipe from my arthritis cookbook because you can make them ahead of time. Make the cookies and lay on a waxed paper lined baking pan. I put them in the refrigerator to harden which honestly doesn’t take much time at all. Then, transfer the no bake chocolate cookies to a zip lock plastic bag as you can store them much easier this way. They also freeze great so you can pull out a little chocolate cookie to satisfy your sweet tooth.
