This has been such a tough winter for our family's health. We've seen the flu, another two week long stomach bug, bronchitis, sinus infections, and colds. Lots of movies have been watched, lots of pajama days had, and lots of cookies made. Making cookies comforts me almost as much as eating them does. Here is one of my favorite recipes that I've been making for over a decade, and people have been asking me to make for just as long. It was a recipe found in my mom's never ending recipe box, the card tattered and yellowed from use. No-bake cookies are perfect for those days you're in a cookie making mood, but don't feel like dealing with the scooping and/or rolling of the dough, being stuck next to the oven for a couple hours, and tons of dishes. No mixer or baking sheet required!
Step 1: On medium heat, mix the following in large pan. Cook until it starts to boil. (I always melt the butter before adding the other ingredients.)
1/4 lb. butter
2 c. sugar
1/4 c. cocoa
1/2 c. milk
Step 2: Remove from heat. Cool for 1 minute.
Step 3: Add the following ingredients:
1 tsp. vanilla
1 pinch salt
1/2 c. peanut butter
3 c. quick cooking oats
Step 4: Stir well.
Step 5: Drop by tablespoon onto wax paper.
