No Bake Cookies

 It was out of necessity that I found this recipe. The main board on my oven went out and I was without an oven for two weeks, waiting for parts and service.  I searched on-line for no bake desserts and found this cookie recipe on "Cooking Classy".  We liked it so much that I would make it again - even with an oven available.



Ingredients

1/2 cup butter

1 3/4 cup sugar

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa

1/2 cup milk

1 tsp. vanilla

2/3 cup creamy peanut butter

3 cups quick oats (don't use old fashioned oats)

  For a gluten-free version of this recipe, use gluten free oats.


Instructions

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In medium-size saucepan, combine butter, sugar, cocoa and milk.

Set over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until it reaches a full rolling boil.

All mixture to boil without stirring for exactly one minute.

Remove from heat and add vanilla, oats and peanut butter.

Stir until combined. Then, using a scoop, drop mixture into mounds on lined baking sheets.

Allow to rest at room temperature to set up for 20-30 minutes.

Store in air tight container.
