As a child, my grandmother used to make these cookies all of the time. She even made containers of them and brought to me after I was grown up and married with kids. And it was EVERY TIME that she visited. These were my ultimate favorite cookie. So much so that now, my kids love to make them. (Yesterday was a Missouri Cookie Day too!) She didn’t give me the recipe until my wedding day! This is my favorite childhood cookie. My grandmother always made these and even would make and bring during visits into my adulthood. This is the recipe that she gave me on my wedding day.

These look so good—just the same kind of cookies my mom used to make for us growing up! They were always a treat!
When I was in my college years, I found out that others had grown up eating them too, and that they sometimes omitted the cocoa, making peanut butter no bake cookies. They were different, but just as yummy.
Hope you continue to share your ideas and recipes at the Homestead Blog Hop!
