A Humdinger of a Cookie (This ones for you Suzi)

It's may not officially be Summer yet but It is definitely close around here. I know some of you are already having 100 degree weather. Whew!
Who wants to heat their kitchen in HOT HOT weather? Not me! So today I am offering up a Humdinger of a cookie that is No-Bake. Now this is a bit of a Holiday thing but who cares? When you are craving a cookie in 100 degree weather, this one will fit the bill.

So whip up a batch and get outta that kitchen y'all. It's Summer Time!
PS. I will be adding more no bake cookies for the Summer.

  10. My late grandmother used to make these. She rolled them into small little crescent shapes. They were divine... can't wait to try this recipe. Unfortunately as a child, I didn't have the appreciation to know to ask for her recipes. Sure I'm not the first to let those precious gems slip by. Thank you for your recipe.
