Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
I love eating cookies year-round, but when the temperature spikes above 80°F, the last thing I want to do is turn on the oven. These no-bake cookies satisfy my cookie cravings without turn ing my kitchen into a sauna! Plus, the coconut makes these cookies even sweeter than regular chocolate oatmeal cookies.
