No Bake Cookies

It's no bake November! Well, not really, see our Pie Weekend post if you need proof. But no bake cookies were an excellent post-Thanksgiving treat. These cookies require simple ingredients, 5 minutes plus some cooling time and a sweet tooth!




Here's the recipe:

1 3/4 C. white sugar
1/2 C. milk
1/2 C. butter
4 tbsps. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 C. peanut butter
3 C. quick-cooking oats
1 tsp. vanilla extract

In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa. Bring to a boil, and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in peanut butter, oats, and vanilla. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto wax paper. Let cool until hardened (this goes faster in the fridge or freezer, but room temperature is fine too).
