recipe from my Mom
I know probably everyone out there has their own favorite no-bake cookie recipe. But, for the sake of organizing my own recipes and posting some of my family favorites, I could not pass this one up - especially when the craving came for these cookies the other day. They are quick, easy, and perfect for when you just need a little chocolate to make the world a better place... tell me you've had days like that too.
2 c sugar
1 stick butter (do not substitute margarine here or your cookies will not set up well!)
4 Tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 c milk
2 1/2 c rolled oats
1/2 c peanut butter
2 tsp vanilla
In a saucepan, combine sugar, butter, cocoa and milk. Stir frequently and heat to boiling. As soon as mixture is boiling with bubbles rolling across the entire surface, set timer and continue to boil for one minute. Don't allow them to boil any less or more than a minute or your cookies will either not set up or will be too dry, respectively. Immediately remove from heat and stir in peanut butter, oats and vanilla.
Spoon into small circles on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper and set aside to set up.
