This is a no-bake cookie that my sister showed me when I was a kid and they immediately became my favorite. I am not sure why they are called Rochester cookies or where the recipe came from. I kept losing the recipe, so I thought I would post it here for posterity! They cook up fast, so when you have a craving, they won't keep you waiting long. They set-up nicely over time, but I doubt they'll last that long!
Ingredients:
1/4-1/2 cup cocoa powder
2 cups granulated sugar (could substitute splenda, although i haven't tried it)
1/2 cup butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk (low or non-fat is fine, that's what i use)
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter (light is fine)
3 cups quick-cooking oats
Directions:
1. Combine cocoa, sugar, butter, vanilla and milk in a large saucepan.
2. Bring to a boil and let the mixture boil hard for 30 seconds.
3. Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter and oats.
4. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto waxed paper.
5. Cool completely.
