A Random Act of Kindess Brightened my Day

 Tonight at 5pm, out of the blue our doorbell rang.  When the doorbell rights at that time of night it usually means a door to door salesman of some sort.  I won the draw to answer the door.  And was I ever thankful that I did!  A girlfriend of mine was standing there, with a plate of Chocolate No-Bake Cookies.  She remembered that I told her I loved them when I was a kid.  So, when she made some today she packaged some up for me and dropped them off.

What a wonderfully thoughtful thing to do for me.  It brightened  my day for sure.  They are like little drops of heaven and bring me back to my childhood when we would make them all the time.

I am not sure if this is her recipe or not, but this is the one I grew up making, straight from my Mom’s recipe card. And if you decide to make some, perhaps you should drop a plate off for an unsuspecting friend or colleague just because.

Chocolate No-Bake Cookies

  • 2 c. white sugar
  • 1/2 c. margerine
  • 1/2 c. milk
  • 6 tbsp cocoa

Bring above to boil & add

  • 3c. oatmeal
  • 1 c. coconut
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Drop by teaspoon on wax paper.  Refrigerate and Enjoy!

    Aw, what a good friend! Those cookies are good. In the family of one of my friends, those cookies are called “goose poop.” 🙂 It’s kind of a gross name, but funny!
