Kids and Cookies

My dear friend, Sherry, has a Kids in the Kitchen Thursday blog carnival. I LOVE this idea and so this week we are adding our addition with one of my all time favorites - No Bake Cookies!

For this recipe you will need:

2 c. sugar

4 Tbsp. cocoa

1tsp. vanilla

1 stick butter

1/2 c. milk

3/4 c. peanut butter

3 c. oats

It also tastes best if you have two adorable little helpers!

Please ignore the plethora of off-brand items. My mother raised me thrifty =)

Combine your sugar, cocoa, vanilla, butter and milk in a pot.

Bring these ingredients to a rapid boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. We boiled ours for about 5-7 minutes. If you don't boil it long enough, the cookies will not set hard and you'll have mushy balls of delicious goo. Please notice that she is watching the pot and yet it still boiled.

Once it is good and cooked, add in your peanut butter and oats and stir them in QUICKLY (we like to add the peanut butter until its' melted and then add the oats.)

Drop spoonfuls of yumminess onto wax paper and let cool.

Now pour yourself a cold glass of milk and enjoy!
