Christmas and cookies is Holidays and cookies is December and cookies ! You see cookies are all over the internet now and this is the time to start baking !
Or not ! Make these easy no-bake cookies instead and let the kids help. The cookies will be a hit with everyone, young and old.
The recipe I am sharing today is for No-Bake Christmas Oatmeal Cookies, which is perfect for me.
Living in South-Africa with our wonderful, some days a little too hot, December weather. If I do not have to switch on the oven, I am happy as ever.
These oatmeal roll-type ball cookies are quick to prepare and I roll them into tiny balls, bite size really.
After making them and rolling into balls, it takes only a little while in the refrigerator to set and then they are ready to be dunked into cocoa and/or icing sugar – or both, as I have done here.
This recipe can easily be halved, doubled or even tripled and they keep well in a sealed container.
