The time came to pass, when a lovely family was told that they must leave the land they called home.  Yes, they were being cast into the wilderness.  A long and tediously slow wilderness referred to as State Highway 7.  Never fear, they would be delivered to the Promised Land, a.k.a. a lovely place populated by cottages and situated within a peaceful grove.  Rumor has it that this new land also features an awesome double oven, a Promised Land if there ever was one, but I’m getting ahead of myself.

First the family would need to embark on their Exodus.  They had no time to get ready (actually they had eight long months, but never mind that superfluous detail) and since the movers had packed all of their useful household items, the father needed to unwind with a glass of leftover white wine drank from an old plastic cup, while enjoying a random Hershey’s chocolate bar that he found buried within the depths of the now sparsely populated fridge.  Yes, these were challenging times.  Times when cookies had no time to bake.  Times when ingredients were hard to find.

Never fear for those who stay the course and remain loyal to cookie baking will see their needs met and the father was rewarded with a recipe suited for these challenging times.

Harnessing the flavor of Maple and Brown Sugar Instant Oatmeal, these No Bake Cookies will provide you with the energy you need to survive life’s Exoduses and see that you arrive at your own personal Promised Land.  Enjoy your new found freedom!  Enjoy these tasty cookies!
