Recipe

With all the hot and humid weather we've been having lately, I really don't want to use the oven. But we have no cookies in the house (and believe me - that's a problem!). I was going through recipes yesterday when I found this great recipe for no bake cookies. I haven't had them since I was a kid and they are so easy and delicious! They really don't take very much time at all.

No Bake Cookies

2 cups white sugar

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup margarine

1tsp. vanilla

1 pinch salt

1/2 cup chunky or creamy peanut butter (whatever you prefer)

3 cups quick cooking oats

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, cocoa, milk and margarine. Bring to a boil, stirring occassionally. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat and stir in the vanilla, salt, oats, and peanut butter.

2. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Allow cookies to cool for at least 1 hour. Store in airtight container.
