No Bake Cookies

I think everyone has had a No Bake cookie and if you haven't you should! I like to eat mine in the morning with a big fat cup coffee. Hey! They have oatmeal, that is a breakfast item! LOL! 

This recipe (and if you know me by now, you know what I'm going to say next) is super easy! Everything I post is super easy, with your occasional exception. Gotta keep them guessing! 

With this No Bake cookie recipe, you'll get about 24 cookies, not too much and not too little as well. I hate making cookies for hours and then the next few days no one eats them. I'm not into wasting food. This is the smallest recipe for them that I've seen so far but I haven't search far and wide either. 

Let's get to making some cookies...

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup milk

4 T cocoa powder

pinch of salt

1/2 cup peanut butter

2 t vanilla

2 1/2 cups oatmeal uncooked

Directions:

In a medium saucepan add the first six ingredients and bring those to a boil. Boil for 1 minute. Stirring constantly. 

Remove from heat. Add the peanut butter into the saucepan and stir until completely mixed. 

Add in the vanilla. Mix in the uncooked oatmeal until they are entirely covered. 

Drop cookies by spoonfuls onto a wax sheet or parchment paper. 

Let cool about a half hour to set at room temperature. 

From my experience, chunky peanut butter will tend to make the cookies dryer. Also, quick cooking oat has a nicer texture and you'll use fewer oats in the mix. I prefer the old fashion oats, though, just because that what I'm used to. 

I hope you enjoy the recipe, if so, please share with your friends and family!
