Out of all the cookies in the world, no-bakes are my favorite. They are easy, inexpensive, healthier, and tastier than any other cookie I've ever tried or made.
No-Bake Cookies
1 stick (half cup) Salted Butter (not margarine)
1/2 cup Milk
3/4 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
3 cups Oats
Dash of Vanilla
2-3 Shakes of Salt
1/4 cup Cocoa
2 cups Sugar (white or brown)
On lowest heat for open-fire gas stove or low/medium for electric.
* Place stick of butter into medium sized sauce-pan first. Then in this order add milk, sugar, cocoa, salt.
*Stirring often, bring to a solid simmer and let it simmer for a couple minutes.
*Add PB and vanilla and stir until PB is well blended.
*Add Oats and stir.
*Take off stove and with a spoon scoop and drop onto
wax paper/parchment paper/aluminum foil.
*Place in freezer or fridge and let harden. -Usually takes about 2 hours.
-Makes 2-3 dozen cookies.
Helpful Hints:
1. Don't add any more butter than specified or they will be gooey and never harden.
-A common mistake of mine when I am not paying attention.
2. Don't skip the salt. -It's also necessary for hardening & it bring out all the flavors.
3. Using organic sugars, pb, etc tastes just as good if not better with certain brands.
4. I once accidentally used "dark chocolate cocoa" and it was AMAZING!
