Who says a woman can't have chocolate? Seriously, don't miss out on some good comfort food every once in a while. This crazy recipe is one that many kids who had Home Ec classes would make back when we had home ec. Those of you who know what I'm talking about remember these things and can NEVER find the right recipe anymore that can make these things without oozing all over the wax paper. Grrr...
Other serving suggestions for these are to add some mini robin eggs in the center if you want to make this an Easter themed yummy to allow you an excuse to make them. Who cares if it is at least 3 weeks from now!
I'll post a pic of what the cookies look like later when I make them BEFORE everyone eats them all!
Chocolate No-Bake Cookies!
2 C Sugar
1/2 C Cocoa
1/2 C butter or margarine
1/2 C milk (or 1/4 c water + 1/4 c evaporated milk)
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 C peanut butter (optional)
3 C Oatmeal
Directions:
1. Put sugar, cocoa, butter, and milk into a saucepan and set the burner to medium heat. Mix until butter is melted. Keep stirring just to keep the mixture from scorching. When it comes to a rolling boil, keep stirring and let it boil for at least 3 minutes.
2. Remove from heat and then add the vanilla and stir well. Add peanut butter if you want or leave it out of the recipe.
3. Add the oatmeal and stir well.
4. Drop by spoonful onto wax paper to dry and cool.
5. Kick all people out of the kitchen and keep them out of them or they will all be gone in less than a 1/2 hour.
