No Bake Oatmeal Cookie Balls
Filed under Dessert - CookiesJun 22
Now that school is out for the summer, are you looking for a fun treat to make with your kids? These certainly fit the bill!These aren’t your normal no-bake cookies. Instead, they are a chocolate oatmeal cookie ball that is rolled in powdered sugar – making them quite pretty in my opinion. And they are so easy that children wouldn’t have a hard time making them at all. And they are fun, since you get to get in and get your hands dirty! I liked these so much that I made them 3 times in a week for 3 different occasions!
No Bake Oatmeal Cookie Balls

Wash hands, then roll the dough into balls 1 to 2 inches in diameter. Roll balls in confectioners’ sugar until thickly coated.
Chill 20 minutes before serving.

Ooh, these are a classic where I grew up. A very similar recipe is printed on the bag of oats. It uses cold coffee instead of peanut butter, gives the whole thing a wonderful mocha taste.
Try rolling them in sprinkles if you don't mind the crunch. [Reply]

These sound ideal for summer! It's been 100 degrees here, so next time the hubby asks for a chocolatey desert, I'll be making these for him

Emily,
I'm sure they'd be good storing them in an airtight container – but to be honest, they didn't last that long for me!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! My mother used to make these when I was a little girl and I recently lost my recipe. I was brokenhearted til I found yours! These are without a doubt my favorite and I can eat them all without sharing! Perhaps my son can make his own batch!

@nila, they are just teh raw oats in this recipe. I haven’t tried teh quaker bites, so I don’t know how this compares. Good luck!
