- 1 stick butter
- ½ cup milk

- Stir until well blended, then drop into a lightly greased pan (8×8 or 9×13).
- Refrigerate for at least 2 to 4 hours until set, then cut into squares.
I acquired this recipe from a lovely woman named Nora. After eating so many of these no-bake cookies at the Ziegenfus household, I decided to finally make them myself. They’re so easy, delicious, and addicting. I’d definitely add them to a “must-try” list if I were you. I’m even going to make a bold statement and say that these are kind of, sort of healthy. Just ignore the entire stick of butter and the two cups of sugar! I think considering them a healthier alternative to brownies would be appropriate though. Good luck and enjoy!
