Baking in the summer can be brutal. When the oven’s on inside and out, it’s never comfortable to be in the kitchen. For this reason, I love to make no-bake cookies — like these No-Bake Nutella Oatmeal Cookies — in the summer months.
These recipes are quick to whip up on the stove, then you drop spoonfuls of batter onto a baking sheet. The cookies will harden and cool quickly, leaving you with delicious, nearly fool-proof cookies. These cookies combine some of my favorite ingredients — chocolate, peanut butter and hazelnuts. And, they’re gluten-free! (Just be sure you’re using gluten-free oats.) How do you beat the heat in your summer kitchen? Let me know in the comments! // susannah
