No-Bake Cookies: Because You Need a Break Right About Now

 How many of you have started prepping your 
Thanksgiving meal for tomorrow?
If I was making a meal this year, I would have started
prepping yesterday. I love getting my sides and
desserts ready and out of the way. I even make up
cheese and veggie trays ahead.
This is one dessert that is sure to win over your guests.
Who does not like no-bake cookies?
 And they are so easy to throw together.
A small cookie that packs a BIG punch.
No-Bake Cookies

2 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 c. baking cocoa
pinch of salt
1/2 c. milk
1 stick butter
1/2 c. peanut butter (I used crunchy)
4 packets instant oatmeal (I used maple/brown sugar)
And enough old fashioned oats to equal 3 c.

Mix in pan: sugar, cocoa, milk, butter, salt
Heat to boiling on medium heat
Take off of heat and let it cool for 1 minute
Add vanilla, peanut butter, and oatmeal - stir well
Drop by TBS onto wax paper (or however big you want your cookie)
Let cool completely

  1. I love no bakes.... I often use chocolate instead of cocoa.... it gives them a different taste.

  3. When I want a quick bite of chocolate, this is my go-to cookie:) I am hosting a great giveaway on Dining With Debbie. (1) $50 gift certificate to my favorite jeweler robinsonlane.com and (2) a signed copy of Arkansas Pie: A Slice of the Natural State written by fellow blogger, Kat Robinson. I would love for you to come enter Merry Merry Munchies and the rafflecopter entry. I think you would enjoy either one of these prizes. http://diningwithdebbie.blogspot.com/2012/11/2012-merry-merry-munchies-3-baked.html
