No-Bake Cookies

This is one of my favorite treats!  If ever Alex and I have a late night craving for something sweet, this is what we make. They are fast, easy, and we usually have all the ingredients on hand. 

These are hardly healthy, so last time we made them, we reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup.  They still turned out great, though I do prefer the full-sugar version, obviously.  :-)

 

No-Bake Cookies
Recipe from my Home Economics class in high school

Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup baking cocoa
  • 1 1/2 cups quick cook oats
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla
Directions:

In a medium saucepan, combine butter, milk, sugar, and cocoa.  Over medium heat, bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.  Remove from heat, and add oats, peanut butter, and vanilla.  Stir together, and drop by spoonfuls on to a lightly greased cookie sheet.  Refrigerate until firm.
