  1. Thanks for visiting me on my blog, Liz!

    No bake cookies are always so popular. They are great during warm weather too so we don’t have to turn on that oven.

  2. No Bake cookies are one of my favorites (and my husband’s). My recipe doesn’t have as much peanut butter in it. I will have to try this one so that we can compare the tastes.

  3. My dh loves peanut butter so I think I’ll try these with the girls on Monday! Easy, not a lot of ingredients and no baking. Sounds like a dream.

    What a fabulous Thursday!Sunshine and cookie recipes. Mmmm! I love cookies 🙂
