Dark Chocolate No Bake Cookies

Submitted by Chef #1466068

"These cookies are an old childhood favorite. I changed the ingredients over the years and use Hershey's special dark cocoa and madagascar bourbon vanilla. I also eliminated the nuts (do to a nut allergy in our house) and I use 1% milk. Neither 1% or fat free milk interfere with the texture of these awesome cookies!"
