I can remember my Grandma making these cookies since I was a little kid! When I found the recipe that she wrote, I knew this had to be the next recipe I make! I have made similar cookies before, but not her own recipe! These cookies are so easy, they took probably 10 minutes to make, and they are so delicious! I like to believe that the oats make them a “healthier” cookie option, but I think the sugar says otherwise! LOL
When I was baking these, I had to look up what the ingredient “oleo” was, turns out, it is just butter/margarine! Margarine was actually named oleomargarine from Latin for “oleum” and Greek “margarita” but was later named margarine! This Easy No-Bake Cookie recipe is so simple, and will be sure to fulfill that sweet tooth! Happy Baking!
