No Bake Cookies

This is a very easy recipe to make that doesn't take very long. I think I had about 15 minutes before a friend was coming over. In that short time I was able to prep, cook, and plate it. I usually don't like making these because they are so YUMMY and before I know it, I have eaten the whole batch!

Easy No Bake Cookies

What you will need:

• 2 cups of sugar
• 1 stick of butter
• 3 Tbsp. cocoa powder (I use Hersheys)
• 1/2 cup of milk
• 1/2 cup of crunchy peanut butter
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 3 cups of oatmeal (old fashioned rolled oats, not the instant kind)

Mix the sugar, butter, cocoa powder, and milk in a medium sized saucepan. Boil for 1 minutes, blending it all together.

Add the peanut butter and vanilla. Mix together quickly until the peanut butter melts, then add the oatmeal. Mix everything together until well blended.

Drop spoonfuls onto foil or wax paper. Allow the cookies to set and cool completely.

Makes 2 dozen 3 inch cookies. I like my cookies larger so I made a total of about 12.
