No bake cookies used to be intimidating to me. I am not one to follow recipes to a T. But with these cookies you need to exactly time out how long it boils for so that your sugar will reach the proper temperature to crystallize and then harden to make your cookies firm. Follow exactly and you will have perfect cookies everytime.
