Chocolate Dream Cookies (No Bake)

Recipe #43061 | 13 min | 10 min prep | add private note

My dad brought this recipe home from the Navy nearly 50 years ago. I have been making them since I could stand on a chair by the stove and stir. The peanut butter in this recipe makes these cookies a little different than similar recipes I've seen here.

These are wonderful! Quick and easy. I used dark cocoa and I love the taste of these. I also like the easy clean up.

    Leta, these are sinfully delicious! I made them using vanilla soymilk (and omitting the additional vanilla) and soy nut butter, and they turned out terrific! I'll definitely be making these again soon!

    Simply perfect! These bring back memories of cookies EXACTLY like them that my mom used to make! I'll be making these often, as they're fast, easy, inexpensive and utterly delicious. Thanks Leta, for a wonderful old favorite that will never go out of style.
