There’s nothing like homemade baked goods, but they just aren’t that practical to make in college — especially if you live in a dorm. We all need to satisfy our sweet tooth every once in a while, though, and quick and easy is the way to do it. And it’s actually possible with these no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies. That’s right: no oven required.
