Chhaya's No Bake Cookies
My granddaughter, Chhaya made these for us the first time was in the fourth grade. We were feeling low with the flu. Her cheery smile and the lovely big chocolate cookies made us feel so much better. She says she likes to make them because it only takes 15 minutes and uses one pan and one big spoon.

Ingredients:
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 cup milk
1 stick oleo
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 cups quick oatmeal

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups sugar
1/4 cup cocoa

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
