No Bake Cookies

This recipe has been around since at least the 1960's. I made it when I was a kid.

No Bake Cookies

3 Tbsp. cocoa
1/2 stick butter
1/2 c. milk
2 c. sugar

Mix above. Bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute. Then add:

3 c. oats
1 t. vanilla
1/2 c peanutbutter

Spoon out cookies and cool.

These cookies are very sweet and easy.


My sister and I never have any problem with our cookies but other people complain sometimes. I'm not sure what they do differently. We both use Jiff Peanutbutter. I can't think that is the difference. Be sure to boil it for a full minute. Work quickly adding the rest of the ingredients and spooning them out.
