I found this recipe on Dinner and Dessert and bookmarked it for a later date. Well, that date was last night at midnight. I was bored, not tired and wanted something to do - so I searched my bookmarked recipes and finally landed on this one. It's fairly simple but it did take quite awhile for them to cool compared to a fresh oven baked cookie so build in time for that!
No Bake Chocolate, Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Cookies
recipe from: Dinner and Dessert
1/2 cup butter
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
4 Tablespoons cocoa
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 to 3.5 cups oatmeal
2 teaspoons vanilla
Directions:
Add the first four ingredients to a saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil and hold for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto wax paper. Let cool completely until set.
*I used dark cocoa because I didn't have "regular" cocoa, hence the darker color of the cookie. I also used aluminum foil instead of wax paper because we didn't have it on hand...might be why mine took so long to cool. I only made a half batch of these because I knew two people did not need this much cookie in their presence. :) Especially with junky willpower like we do right now. I wouldn't make your cookies bigger than a tablespoonful because they are r.i.c.h. already at this size.
