If you like raw cookie dough then you will love these cookies. They would taste much better if baked. Maybe I should of baked the. Yuck! Sorry

The children helped make these. It definitely is easy to make. They had fun rolling the little balls in powdered sugar and also in coconut. We skipped the chopped nuts. Most no bake cookies have the same sort of texture when one adds the oatmeal, so these are very similar to others I've made. Nothing spectacular about them, but "fine."

Enjoyed these cookies! However, I discovered they taste much better without so much cocoa powder! :)
