Most no bake chocolate oatmeal cookie recipes I see have peanut butter in them. I prefer this recipe, which has no peanut butter. My daughter brought the recipe home from a friend's mother years ago. I used to make it all the time, but rarely make it anymore. Ingredients:
2 cups sugar |
1/2 cup cocoa |
1 stick butter |
1/2 cup milk |
3 cups oatmeal |
1 cup nuts (optional, i never use) |
1 tsp vanilla |
Directions:
1. Put all ingredients except oatmeal and vanilla (and nuts if you are using) in a heavy 3 quart or larger saucepan.
2. Cook over medium high heat, stirring so it will not stick, until a small amount dropped in cold water forms a soft ball.
3. Turn off heat.
4. Stir in oatmeal and vanilla and nuts if using.
5. Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper or a greased cookie sheet.
6. You're supposed to let them cool completely but we always starting eating them as soon as we could handle them!
