No Bake Cookies


In honor of my brother's birthday today, I made his favorite cookies.  There is a family story of when my brother, Ryan, was young that he snatched an entire pan of these cookies from the fridge, hid under my mom's kitchen desk and proceeded to eat every last one.  Somehow he still loves these cookies today!

Here's the recipe for a 1/2 batch of no bake cookies (makes 18-20 cookies):
1 cup sugar
1/2 stick butter
1 1/2 T cocoa
1/4 cup milk
In a heavy saucepan bring ingredients above to a rolling boil for 1 min.

Remove from stove and add:
1 1/2 cups oatmeal (steel cut - not instant)
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 t. vanilla

 On a sheet of waxed paper, drop mixture by the teaspoonfuls, until cooled and hardened.
