Chocolate Dream Cookies (No Bake)

"My dad brought this recipe home from the Navy nearly 50 years ago. I have been making them since I could stand on a chair by the stove and stir. The peanut butter in this recipe makes these cookies a little different than similar recipes I've seen here."

  1. Leta, these are sinfully delicious! I made them using vanilla soymilk (and omitting the additional vanilla) and soy nut butter, and they turned out terrific! I'll definitely be making these again soon!
     
  2. Simply perfect! These bring back memories of cookies EXACTLY like them that my mom used to make! :) I'll be making these often, as they're fast, easy, inexpensive and utterly delicious. Thanks Leta, for a wonderful old favorite that will never go out of style.
     
  3. When I was in Junior High School, a hundred years ago, these were a favorite!!! We could get a huge cookie for 5 cents!! these are easy, tasty, and dangerous to have around. too too tempting!!! I made them for the cookie-thon, and have now added them to my holiday baking list!!
     
  4. I have made these cookies for years, and sometimes they have turned out and sometimes they haven't. This is the first time that I have seen that it needs to boil for 1 min. I made these tonight and they set perfectly! Thanks! BTW my recipe is the exact same except it has 1/2 c cocoa.
     
  5. These are wonderful! Quick and easy. I used dark cocoa and I love the taste of these. I also like the easy clean up.
