No Bake Cookies

no-bake-cookiesThese cookies are my boys FAVORITE cookies ever and Daddy’s too.  When I need a quick sweet treat (or a gluten free one), these are usually what I end up making. 

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 tablespoons cocoa
  • 1/2 cup milk or cream
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3 cups uncooked minute oats
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter

Combine sugar, cocoa, milk and margarine.  Bring to a boiling and boil for 1 minute.  Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and then oats.  Drop from spoon onto waxed paper and let set.
 
NOTE:  The amount of time you let them boil is very important.  If you boil them too long, the cookies will be dry and crumbly.  If you do them for less than a minute, they will be runny and not set up.

Recipe was taken from the Holdeman Christian Home Cookbook and I tweaked it a little to our liking.
