Hello and welcome to the last week of 2015. I'm sure you are still in the holiday spirit and having get-togethers to usher in the new year 2016. So in the spirit of the season, I have a gift for you and an easy treat to share for your next party. I must admit I offered this recipe when I was a guest at Joselyn Vaughn's blog this month. It received a lot of attention, so I thought I'd let my readers in on the goodies too.
My friend, sweet romance author, and critique partner Joselyn Vaughn invited authors to share their Christmas treats with her readers all month. Hop over to Joselyn's blog when you finish here to pick up more great recipes.

| My daughter's easy recipe for No Bake Cookies in her handwriting vintage 1990. Photo by J.Q. Rose |
I
pulled out my recipe box to find my favorite cookie recipe to share today. I
found plenty of them, but one was a treasure. Folded within the recipe cards
was a quick and easy recipe my daughters liked to make. I smiled when I opened
the crunched up paper. The recipe was written by my daughter in her distinctive
handwriting. Although it is faded and stained by years of lovingly stirring
this no-bake cookie mixture together, it brought back wonderful memories of
being together. You can bet I tucked this keepsake back in the box because the
girls are all grown up now with children of their own.
This
is a delicious no-fail chocolate recipe you can make on the stove top. The
ingredients include peanut butter and oatmeal, so it’s got to be good for you,
right? If you have kids/teens/ guests coming over, this is a cookie everyone
will love. I typed out the recipe below for easy reading.

shadow man muddle up her intention to have a simple life.

The pic shows me a well-loved recipe. Only my favorites look like that. :-)

I have this recipe, JQ and it's as rumpled and stained as yours. One of my favorites. Thanks for sharing and I will share this, too. :)
Interesting cookie recipe, JQ. I do like to bake cookies. At Christmas my favorite cookies are Chinese New Year cookies. They are also no bake. Two bags of chocolate chips and one bag of butterscotch chips, melted. Add a bag of Spanish peanuts and a bag of chow mein noodles. Mix. Spoon on waxed papered baking sheets. Cool in the refrigerator. Makes enough to last the Christmas season.
Best wishes to you, JQ in the New Year. I've already read your latest mystery and loved it!

Yes, Anna, the girls loved making this recipe. I'm glad I hung on to this one as a keesake.
Marsha, I was trying to remember where our daughter got the recipe. Probably one of friend's mothers shared it. Thanks for sharing the post!
Susan, thanks for the recipe. I just copied it down and will tuck it in my recipe box for later. Sounds delicious!!
The work at home positions that were most promptly accessible were either tricks or they cost more to do than you could make. การ์ดแต่งงาน
