This recipe is actually from the Food Network show Cooking Live with Sara Moulton. Talk about a blast from the past! Cooking Live was one of the first shows I watched on the Food Network, and I can't remember whether I saw these cookies being made on the show, or if I just found it doing a recipe search online. Either way, this is a simple recipe and produces quite delicious cookies.
No bakes are a lot of fun to make. They are easy, quick, and a nice change from traditional 'baked' cookies. Plus, since they don't need to be baked, they are a great idea if you need to make a sweet treat in a pinch. The cookies are chocolaty, sweet, and rich. Definitely fun to make with the kids, and they still don't last long in our house.
