Chocolate Oatie No Bake Cookies
Makes 2 dozen
Both my mom and my grandmother inspired this recipe. I can recall many occasions growing up when I would arrive at my grandparents house and rush straight to these cookies, leaving the hello hugs as an after thought once my taste buds were satisfied. As I grew older, I began to fix these for my siblings on a slow Saturday or a long summer afternoon. Now I love making this dish because I have so many happy childhood memories associated with it. No oven needed; hope you enjoy these cookies as much as I do!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 C Butter
- 4 Tbsp Cocoa
- 1/2 C Milk
- 2 C Sugar
- 1/2 C Peanut Butter
- 3 C Quick cooking Oats
- 2 tsp. Vanilla
In a saucepan, add your butter, sugar, milk and cocoa. Bring this mixture to a full boil, and boil for about 1 minute. Next, stir in your peanut butter, oats, and vanilla. Once all of your ingredients are completely mixed together, use a spoon to scoop out small-medium sized lumps and place them on wax paper at an equal distance apart. Let the lumps cool. Once the cookies have hardened, enjoy!
I really like how you included a personal experience with the cookies in your introduction. This is a great way to captivate the reader and hook them into reading the rest of your recipe. I also enjoy how simple this recipe is to make; even though I have little cooking experience, I feel like this is something that I could easily make. Would love to try these!
My mom always used to make something like this to tide me over when I was a kid starved for sweets. I like how easy and seemingly cheap it is to make.
Making this recipe was so easy! I made it with my roommates and it was a fun quick activity. Super easy and tasty! We used a little too much peanut butter but the recipe still turned out good!! Will definitely use this recipe again!
