No Cook Recipe for
Residence Hall Living:
"Oatmeal, Peanut Butter, and Chocolate No Bake Cookies." |
|
If you're looking for a fun and easy treat to share with your friends, try this recipe. |
|
You will need:
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup condensed milk
dash salt
1 tsp. pure vanilla
1 heaping tablespoon peanut butter
1 1/2 cups UNCOOKED oatmeal
wax paper
- Microwave the butter in a microwave-safe bowl for 15-30 seconds, until the butter is melted.
- Add 1/4 cup cocoa and blend until the cocoa is dissolved into the butter.
- Add the sugar, milk and salt.
- Blend well.
- Microwave on high for 1 minute 10 seconds to bring to a full boil. (Should you need to microwave the batter some more, do so in 10 second increments.) You want a full boil, but because it will continue to cook for awhile once it's removed from the microwave, heating it too long can cause the mixture to scorch.)
- Add the vanilla, peanut butter and oatmeal.
- Stir well.
- Drop by spoonful on wax paper.
- Allow to cool.
ENJOY!
