No-Bake Cookies

I tried these for the first time in Portugal. My American companions (Bayless and Robertson) made these. It was the first time I'd ever heard of or had no-bake cookies. And they were pretty good (especially when you've been living overseas for over a year and missing cookies)! -- Stacy
