It's Recipe Wednesday, Dessert Style!
When Joshua was gone, for some reason I really had the urge for some chocolate. I am not a chocolate person. I love fruit. I would choose something fruity over chocolatey any day.
My mother and sister on the other hand, chocolate lovers!
But one night I really was just craving some chocolate.
Enough to drive 10 minutes into town? No.
Luckily, my mother had been here this summer. She makes the most amazing no bake cookies. I don't know how she does it.
I saw the cocoa in the pantry and boom.. I knew exactly what I was going to make for my chocolate craving!
Add the spoonful of pb and oh my... they were divine.
Chocolate Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies
Ingredients:
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 tbsp cocoa
- 1 stick butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 cups oatmeal
- Foil
Directions:
- In a heavy saucepan bring to a boil the sugar, cocoa, butter, and milk. Let boil for 1 minute.
- Take off burner then add peanut butter, vanilla, and oatmeal. Mix together.
- On a sheet of waxed paper, drop mixture by the spoonful, until cooled and hardened.
How amazingly simple was that recipe?!
And note to self: an ice cream scooper is just way too big as a cookie scoop!
