Oatmeal Logs - No Bake

"A recipe that originally came from a Quaker Oats Cookbook. The original recipe makes a small batch we always triple it. This is a recipe that my family has made every year at Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is great for Kids to help with by shaping and decorating the finished cookies."

To be honest, these were not my favorite. They had a strange taste when I finished making them. I am going to try again, and instead of the coffee/almond mix- I am going to try vanilla & cinnamon. Thanks for sharing.
