I’ve been on a diet and I completely ruined my diet today. But it was certainly the way to go! I made Chocolate No-Bake Cookies, a favorite from my childhood. Despite many attempted fails, now I have it down pat. WHAT?? you say. Anybody can make chocolate no-bake cookies! Hmmmm…no, not everyone. I will admit that I am not a very patient person. Patience is needed with these cookies. I’ll discuss more on that later. Here’s my recipe:
NO BAKE COOKIES
- 1/2 c. cocoa
- 1/2 c. margarine
- 2 c. sugar
- 1/2 c. milk
- 1/2 c. peanut butter
- 2 3/4 c. oatmeal
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
Mix together the first four ingredients. Stir, over medium heat, until boiling. Boil 3 minutes (full boil). Remove from heat. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix together. Drop by spoonfuls on cookie sheets, covered with waxed paper. Let cool. I sometimes put in the refrigerator to cool. Makes about 2 1/2 dozen, depending on the size you prefer.
NOTE: It takes quite awhile to heat the first four ingredients. That’s how I have gotten into trouble in the past. I tried to hurry it up, and so I turned the heat to a higher level. DON’T DO THIS!~ That just doesn’t work. I also did not have any waxed paper, so I used parchment paper, which works just as well.
I hope you enjoy this recipe! I will admit, to try to get a decent photo of me eating the cookie, I had to eat four cookies in the process. OH MY GOSH! They were so good!
