Weird Cookie Request by Husband

[mudbug]

Last night out of nowhere husband states that he would like me to make some cookies that are like fudge with uncooked oatmeal bits in them.

Does anyone have a recipe that approximates this strange coolie or know what he is talking about?

 

[crewsk]

This is the closest thing I can think of mudbug. Hope it helps some! This is where I got the recipe below. I just typed in no bake chocolat oatmeal cookies & it brought up a whole bunch.

Looks good to me, crewsk. Thanks for checking this out for me. I will try them and let you know if these are what hubby was thinking of.

 

[crewsk]

No problem! They get eaten while they are still warm around here, usually out of the bowl before I can get them dropped on wax paper. I hope this is what he was wanting, but if not, they are good anyway.

These are some great cookies. I have eaten them at office parties!

 

[mudbug]

I think an office party is where husband must have had them. I have never made or heard of these before.

These are great cookies! Growing up we had them at the camp I went to--they were called cow patties there.

Kansasgirl, I was wondering when you would come to the rescue! You have so many great recipes!

 

[kansasgirl]

Oh geez - you're too good to me. One of mine is very similar to yours, but it seems to have alot more cocoa. I don't see anything wrong with more cocoa or chocolate!

 

[mudbug]

Well, I took a little time out and made the recipe crewsk found for me. They look and taste pretty good, albeit a little grainy for my taste. I didn't want to boil any longer though cuz it looked like Mt St Helens in my pan there!

Thanks additional ladies, for the additional ideas.

Will report back on what hubby thinks.

 

[choclatechef]

I don't see anything wrong with more chocolate!

I love you too kansasgirl!

 

[crewsk]

I don't see anything wrong with more chocolate!

I love you too kansasgirl!

That makes 2 of us chocolatechef!

 

[mudbug]

Hey, crewsk, HH just got home, took a look, and said, "That's them!" He thinks the ones he had before were a little fudgier, but otherwise is VERY pleased.

thanks again!

 

[crewsk]

I'm glad he's pleased! A happy husband makes for a happy wife!

 

[mudbug]

We're all happy here, except for daughter. We are making her go to the hip hop dance class she begged to join before going to the dance at school tonight. She is upstairs pouting now.

Ah, young teenagers. Can't live with 'em, can't shoot 'em.

 

[crewsk]

And you can't beat 'em up 'cause most of the time they're bigger than you!

 

[kansasgirl]

You might want to try one of my recipes. They have a bit more cocoa in them than the one that crewsk offer. This might provide the 'fudginess' that your hubby wants.

You guys are so great!

 

[mudbug]

Exactly what I intend to do, kansasgirl, after this batch is gone!
