This Easy Oatmeal Cookie Recipe makes chocolaty balls of sweet cookie goodness.

Easy No Bake Oatmeal Cookies

2 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2/3 cup butter, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar

Combine the rolled oats, white sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder in a large bowl. Mix in the water, vanilla and softened butter to form a dough.

Roll the dough into balls 1 or 2 inches in diameter and roll the balls in the confectioners' sugar until they are thickly coated. The confectioners' sugar coating keeps the cookie from becoming crusty.

Chill the cookies 30 minutes prior to serving.

If you would prefer bar cookies rather than ball cookies you can alternately press the dough into a pan and let it setup before cutting into bars.

These are very tasty and easy to make cookies. This recipe comes in handy when you are time pressed and need cookies in a hurry. Like Christmas time!
