No baking for me this week, it's just too hot to have the oven on, but the cravings for something sweet and homemade don't take a break, so I thought I'd share a favorite standby of mine for summer treats, the famous "No Bake Cookie". Now, I'm sure you've heard of them and have probably even made them before, but if you haven't or just need a nudge to whip up a batch, I'm coming to your rescue here and now. And maybe my recipe differs from yours, there are several out there but my family will agree, these are the best!
No Bake Cookies
2 c. sugar
2 Tbsp. cocoa
1/2 c. milk
1 stick butter
Bring to a full rolling boil, and boil for 2 min. in large saucepan. Remove from heat.
1/2 c. peanut butter
3 c. quick oats
Add peanut butter and stir till melted. Add oats and mix well. Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper and allow to set. Makes 2 dozen
Of course, these are good anytime of the year, but are perfect in the dog days of summer when you just don't dare to add more heat to the house. Dressed up in a pretty tin, these melt in your mouth cookies make a special gift, so make a double batch and treat yourself! Enjoy!
Sue this is one of my ALL TIME Favorites. And now is the perfect time of the year to make them.

ReplyDeleteLike it or not, I had to get all hot and sticky today to get my pickles made - whee! But... we now has 16 (1/2 pint) jars of Bread & Butter Pickles :)

ReplyDeletehave a great evening.....
Yummo!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration!
Sue, these are my favorite. My hubs detests the, calls them Cardboard Cookies. I'm very serious!
ReplyDeleteHe just simply doesn't like them, doesn't matter who makes them, or if I purchase them at the grocery store.
But on a side note...mine are always dry, what do I do wrong?

ReplyDeleteAmiable post and this enter helped me alot in my college assignement. Thanks you seeking your information.
ReplyDeleteThis is close to my recipe. I put in a teaspoon of vanilla at the end. I have recently been cutting the sugar down to 1 1/2 cups and no one notices. I use 3 Tbsp of cocoa too.
ReplyDeleteThey might be dry if you cook the syrup too long. 3 minutes at a full boil is all it takes.
These are our favorite cookies, too. I've been making them since I was a teenager. My recipe is a little different than yours, I use 4T. cocoa and before adding the peanut butter and oats, I also add 3 t. vanilla. They are soooo good. You can leave out the cocoa and they become peanut butter no bakes.
