Saucy Sunday – Cow Pies | Twisted Fencepost

Some people call these no bake cookies.

We call ’em Cow Pies.

These are also on the request list. Not just for the holidays.

The Captain and Boo request these throughout the year. Whenever they get a hankering.

Here’s what you’ll need.

We love them here to. They are great when eating pop corn. Yhr sweet cookie and the salty corn.

Well apparently my fingers were on the wrong keys, that’s suppose to be The sweet cookie and the salty corn.

These are one of my favorite cookies but I never had the recipe. Thanks.

Becky: Why the dropping of your mortal enemy. No wonder that they chase you. your just making fun of them.

I just made these with peanut butter and rolled oats and they were called raggedy Robins…and they are so good.

This is one of our favorite cookies. I posted my recipe in Sept. under “Have a cookie, it’ll make you feel better.” The only difference is that I use 4Tbls of cocoa and 3 tsp of vanilla and boil it for 2 minutes before adding the peanutbutter, vanilla, and oats. I think they are the unofficial cookie of Jackson Co., everyone loves them.

I love these cookies.

Chitter and Chatter’s favorite cookies!! I love them too-and especially cause they are so easy and quick to make!

Great recipe that I printed for my wife to make. You have a really interesting blog. I loved your snow widget so much I added it to my blog as well. Have a Merry and a Happy. Blue Skies.

Haven’t had these in ages! Thanks for the quick receipe.
I made your sausage balls this week. Hubs wasn’t sure when I was making them he said they always seem dry. I’d never made them myself but I listened to you and watched them and he loved them – thanks!
