No Bake Oatmeal Cookie Balls

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

I’m headed “home.”  Ohio.  I’ve lived in Minnesota for five years now, but Ohio will always be home for me.  I grew up there and spent 10 of our 16 years of marriage there.  Now if only I could make it home without that long 15 hour drive.  I don’t mind the drive so much as the 5 kids in the back complaining about the drive.
 
I know everyone has great tricks for keeping your kids happy during road trips but we subscribe to the only one that works for us.  Drive at night.  Leave after dinner, the kids are awake for a couple hours and then sleep the night away.  By the time they start to wake-up, we are there!  Yes, Mom and Dad are tired but I’m willing to sacrifice a bit of sleep for a nice quiet drive.

No bake oatmeal cookie barsIf you are planning a road trip, I wouldn’t recommend bringing along these cookies.  They are really messy!  I tried this recipe for the first time about two weeks ago and made them again yesterday for the fourth time.  Soooo easy and cute!  They can be eaten without refrigeration, but I prefer them cold.  I think they taste a lot like uncooked cookie dough, which in my book, is almost better than the baked cookie!
