No-Bake Cookies
We do a lot of visiting to homes as we serve here in Japan. I like to take a little treat when we
go. I love making these into little
balls so they look more like little pieces of chocolate candy and keep them in
a plastic container in the fridge. Then
we’re headed out on visits, I can put several in a pretty little bag and it
makes a nice, little gift.
No-Bake Cookies
Lay out parchment paper or waxed paper on a countertop or table.
In a mixing bowl, put:
3 cups oatmeal
¼ cup cocoa
½ cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
Set aside.
Combine in a saucepan:
2 cups sugar
1/3 cup butter
½ cup milk
Heat until boiling. Boil for 1
minute. If it’s a humid day, boil a bit
longer.
Pour the boiling liquid over the oatmeal mixture, melting the peanut
butter. Stir well.
As soon as it’s cool enough, roll little balls in your hands and put
them on the parchment to set up.
