One of my favorite recipes to make (based on the deliciousness to work ratio) are Lazy Jane Cookies. These are also known as No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies, or simply “No Bakes.” They are super easy to make AND they taste great! Every time I bring these somewhere I get tons of compliments. Kind of makes me feel guilty for not putting more effort into them ;-) My husband loves these, too. He told me recently, “I love it when you don’t bake” – LOL – I just hope that was more a comment on these cookies and less on my baking abilities!
While there are many recipes out there for these types of cookies, I use one from our family cookbook that was put together 26 years ago by my grandparents. The recipe is below and comes from my aunt:

I know, I know...it kind of looks like piles of you know what... but trust me, it tastes good! You can't judge on looks. Kind of like my guacamole....
