No Bake Cookies

I told a good friend of mine that I was making cookies with out baking them. She proceeded to lecture me on how a cookie is not a cookie unless it is baked and that what I was making was a candy. I will let you be the judge of that. Regardless of weather it is a cookie or a candy they are yummy.
