No Bake Cookies

 

During the summer when it was too hot to have the oven on my mom would make a stove top cookie.  She called them boiled cookies I've also had friends say they called them No bake Oatmeal Peanut butter cookies. What every you call them they are delicious, quick and easy, they are a great cookie to take on a camping trip.

Ingredients

2 cups sugar

1/2 cup milk

1 stick butter or margarine

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

3 cups old fashioned rolled oats

1 cup smooth peanut butter (I like to use the crunchy peanut butter)

1 Tablespoon vanilla

pinch salt

In a medium saucepan bring the sugar, milk, butter and cocoa to a boil over medium heat.  Let boil one minute stirring occasionally.   Remove from heat and add peanut butter, vanilla, salt and oats, stir until combined.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop teaspoonfull mixture onto the parchment paper.  Let them sit at room temperate until cool and hardened, about 30 minutes.   Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days (if they last that long).
