....to make and easily impress the harshest critic in your life! No-bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies were a childhood favorite of mine (Mom made them for church potlucks and when company was coming because they're so darn easy) and I recently made them for my friend Cara's birthday. They were her childhood favorite as well and it re-started the fire of that old love affair.
Here's what you'll need:
- 1 stick of real butter
- 2 cups raw sugar
- 1/2 cup organic milk
- 4 tablespoons cocoa
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 3 1/2 cups whole grain rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Cook butter, sugar, milk and cocoa over medium heat to boiling. Boil 5 minutes and remove from heat. Mix in peanut butter, oats and vanilla. Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper and cool. Makes 2-3 dozen depending on cookie size.
Great to eat, give, receive, or teach your kids cooking 101, make these delights and try not to eat them all...
"Observe the art of seduction. Watch, learn and don't eat my cookie." -Phoebe from Friends
