Poll: Chocolate-Oatmeal Cookies or No-Bake Cookies?

Hey, some of you may have already noticed that I've put up a poll at the top of the sidebar. We are going to solve this debate between my family and my husband's family once and for all. Okay, who am I kidding, we're not actually going to solve it, but I think it's fun to stir the pot a bit.



Some people think these are called Chocolate-Oatmeal Cookies, but other people think they are called No-Bake Cookies. I tried to make a truce and call them No-Bake Chocolate-Oatmeal Cookies, but that is too much of a mouthful for me.

So I'm asking you to chime in on this debate... what do you call them? I'm going to leave the poll up for a month and then announce the official winner. Please be sure and vote, and also leave me a comment weighing in for one side or the other!

Also, don't miss this amazing recipe for No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies that can be made gluten and/or dairy free.

  1. No-Bake Cookies! Although, lately, my mom has taken to calling them "Preacher Cookies" (you can read why here: http://www.hillbillyhousewife.com/preachercookies.htm)

  9. [chocolate] no-bake cookies. i got the recipe in about 1972, in michigan, when i was about 12 years old. the recipe called for "oleo" - which i think would now be margarine, but i use butter.
