No Bake Cookies

[Brentastic]

Just made these last night:

 

E2A: You should have have all the ingredients measured/prepared before starting. You will want to have 'part 2 (post boiling) ready to go because the batter 'settles' quickly.

 

Bring these ingredients to boil:

 

2 cups white sugar

1/2 cup milk

1 stick butter

3 tablespoons of cocoa powder

 

Once the above concoction comes to a boil, boil for exactly 1 minute. (This is important, let the mixture actually come to a rolling boil, then boil for one minute only).

 

Take above mixture from heat and quickly add:

 

1 cup peanut butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 cups of cooking oats (dry oatmeal - next time I may try only 2.5 cups of oats)

 

stir and quickly spoon onto waxed paper. They will set quickly so it's crucial to stir and spoon quickly. Enjoy!!
