No Bake cookies

This week was very short and excited. Kids started school and I wanted to treat them  and me with something nice. But I didn't wanted to stand in front of gas or heat up the oven. So I got this recipe to stop my cravings for sweet dish and healthy substitute too.

• 2 cups sugar
• 1 stick  margarine or butter (I used butter)
• 3 Tbsp. cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 3 cups oatmeal (old fashioned rolled oats, not instant)

Mix the sugar, butter, cocoa, and milk in a medium saucepan.* Boil for 1 minute.

Add the peanut butter and vanilla. Mix quickly until peanut butter melts, then add the oatmeal and mix til well blended.

Drop spoonfuls on tin foil, wax paper or parchment. Allow to set and cool completely.
Makes 2 dozen 3 inch cookies.

*If you boil the mixture to long it will make the cookies dry, if you don’t boil long enough the cookies won’t set properly!!!
