CHEF COMMENTS
I make these all the time for my children. Since you do not have to bake these, low fat or fat free butter can be used. Just watch closely on thestove. You may also use skim milk. It will help reduce the fat in thecookies. Hope you enjoy!!!!

These were great! Maybe a little chewy, but some no-bakes come out too dry and these did not. Only problem is how can you eat just one???

One thing to note - the longer you let the stuff set before scooping it onto the plate, the taller they will be. If you drop them immediately they go pretty flat. I use wax paper on a cookie sheet then refrigerate.
