DIY RECIPE: no bake cookies


super easy but delicious.
living in a school has its perks, but also it's down falls.
we don't have that many options of food to choose from.
so the easier the recipe the better.

i made our dorm kids these cookies on their first days back to school.
instantly, they were a hit.
not one of them had heard of no bake cookies, let alone tried one.

so i thought i would post the recipe...
just in case you, like my dorm kids, live on a different planet and have never tried these.

you only need 7 ingredients:

1 3/4 cups white sugar

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup milk

4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup peanut butter (crunchy or non crunchy)

3 cups quick-cooking oats

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

in a pan over the stove combine sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa.
bring to boil and only boil for two minutes.
(so make sure you watching)

then remove from heat and add vanilla, peanut butter, and oats.

mix up.

then place small spoon fulls on wax paper or cooking sheet.
(no need for cooking spray. they aren't going to stick)
((at least haven't for me))

let cool.
and eat.

i put mine in the freezer, i like them super super cold.

yum.yum.yum.
a easy easy dessert, with no baking required.


ENJOY
