These are one of my family's favorite snacks. They are quick, wholesome, and oh so good and best enjoyed with a cold glass of milk. This is a very old recipe and both David and I remember loving them as kids.
No Bake Cookies
2 cups sugar
1 stick butter (or margarine if you must)
1/2 cup milk
4 Tblsp. cocoa
3 cups oatmeal
2/3 cup peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla
Put oatmeal, peanut butter, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl and set aside. In medium saucepan, bring sugar, butter, milk, and cocoa to a boil at medium heat. Boil for 1 minute. Pour hot mixture over oatmeal and stir well. Drop by rounded tablespoon on parchment paper to cool and set. Enjoy!
Hint: a large portion of these never make it to the cool and set stage. We eat them warm with a spoon...yum.
oh wow, they are like a cookie version of fridge cake. what an awesome idea. Nothing beats a light chocolaty snack! :)Thank you for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteI can never get them to haren/firm up! What am I doing wrong?
ReplyDeleteProbably not cooking long enough. It has to be at a rolling boil for a solid minute.
