> [@CairoCarol](#): > > I have a delicious recipe for no-bake cookies, if anybody wants it. The ingredients are indeed peanut butter and oats - plus sugar, cocoa, vanilla, salt and maybe one or two other ingredients I’m forgetting. They are sublime. Leave out the peanuts and you get [eskimo cookies](http://allrecipes.com/recipe/eskimo-cookies/). ---

Damn, I haven’t had no-bake cookies since they served them up in high school. Those cafeteria ladies, BTW, were about furthest thing from hippies anyone could imagine. ---

At the risk of being serious in this thread… No-bake cookies (the ones with chocolate, peanut butter and oatmeal described upthread) are also called “chewy charlies” (by my sister-in-law who worked in a school cafeteria) and “preacher cookies” (one source said because when you saw the preacher coming on his horse, you could whip up a batch before he got to the house). They are gluten free if you get gluten-free oats. If he had attacked the people who put raisins in their no-bake cookies, I’d be on board. ---

Did you seriously create an account here just so you could rant about no-bake cookies and leave? Why this board? Did somebody in Cafe Society set off your no-bake cookiedar? ---

I gotta say, I do hate no-bake cookies. I hate them a lot. Not as much as the OP. Compared to the OP’s distilled essence of no-bake hate, I am more like a homeopathic infusion of no-bake hate. ---
