These are delicious and easy cookies that both my husband and I grew up loving. This was one of the first recipes I helped cook, and the first recipe I cooked all by myself. It brings back good memories of cooking with my mom and dad in the kitchen. I have pictures of me helping my mom make these when I was young, and I am passing on the tradition. I am not sure where mine is, but here's one of my husband and daughter as we were making some together.
I am not sure if it is the taste of these great cookies, or the countless memories that they bring with them that I enjoy the most!
Classic No-Bake Cookies
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 Tbs. Cocoa powder (I usually add a little more...but I could be considered a chocoholic)
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. peanut butter
3 c. oats
In large sauce pan, mix and bring to boil: sugar, cocoa, milk, and butter. Stirring occasionally. Boil 1- 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla, peanut butter and oats. Mix well. Drop by rounded teaspoon fulls on wax paper or on lightly greased pan. Cool.
Note: You have to work fast once you have taken the pan off the heat, because the mix will start to dry and harden. Also, I like to add a little something extra such as coconut and or raisins to add some variety. YUM!
