No Bake Cookies
One of my personal favorite combinations is always chocolate and peanut butter. My mom used to make these for us when we were younger except she would joke around and call them "cow patties." She likes to make these during the summer months to avoid the heat of cutting on the oven. I remember anxiously awaiting for dinner to be over so we could have a no bake cookie, and robbing the fridge when there were extras!
Ingredients:
1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter
1 ¾ Cups Granulated Sugar
1/3 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1/2 Cup Milk
1 TSP Vanilla Extract
2/3 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
3 Cups Quick Oats
Dash of Salt
Directions:
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a 2.5 to 3 quart medium saucepan combine butter, sugar, cocoa and milk.
Set over medium heat, and cook, stirring frequently until it reaches a full boil (should be rolling boil/bubbling).
Allow mixture to boil for 60 seconds without stirring.
Remove from heat, immediately add in vanilla, peanut butter and quick oats.
Stir mixture until well-combined, then, using a medium (2 TBSP) cookie scoop or two spoons drop mixture onto lined baking sheets.
Refrigerate until set.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
