Day 7 – Non Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies (Preacher Cookies)


Since I don’t have any memories of Grandma’s recipes, I like to credit my Mom for starting my love of cooking.  There are many signature Southern dishes that I remember her making (and she still does when we slow down enough to let her cook for us!) and there’s no doubt that my favorite cookie was what she called Preacher Cookies. 

The legend says they have this name because they are fast and easy to cook, in case the Preacher drops by unexpectedly.  Helms and Greg are always welcome and I’ll be sure to bring some of these to church on Sunday.

The feature ingredients are a luscious combination of chocolate, oats and peanut butter.  They really are as easy as the recipe says and are simply delicious.  Thanks Mom!  Your granddaughter has a big smile on her face right now.



The elves brought a batch of cookies to the HT office today and a dozen of yesterday’s batch are going to a Holiday Bake Sale to Support Cookies for Kids Cancer.  Thanks to our wonderful friend Libby for making the suggestion and volunteering to deliver them (I just hope all 12 make it to the event!).  For more info visit www.charlottegoodcookies.com

Haley and I are baking on Saturday, so expectations are high.  Thinking we might stretch the rules a bit and bake two, hope you’ll stop by to check us out.  Have a great Saturday and no matter where you're swimming, I hope the water is fast!
