I'm sure those of you reading this can certainly agree that it has been excessively HOT here in the Midwest. I am not one to frequently get the urge to bake cookies. Unfortunately, tonight the urge struck. I did not want to compromise my air conditioning as it struggles to keep up in this hot weather without any added heat. So I went in search of the "No Bake" cookie recipes. Much to my dismay I found that many of the recipes for the traditional cocoa and oatmeal base no bake cookies also include peanut butter. Since I don't want to chase each cookie with a dose of Benadryl I continued searching for a no peanut butter version. I am pleased to report that I found one and the cookies are cooling in the freezer as I write this blog entry. I will share the recipe to help anyone else who might like it. They have not been taste-test approved yet, but by the taste of the leftovers in the pan, I'm counting on good reports.
No Bake Cookies
2 cups sugar
1 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
5 Tbsp cocoa
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups quick oats
3/4 cup chocolate chips
Bring sugar, butter, milk and cocoa to a boil, cook for 1 minute. Add vanilla, oats and chocolate chips. Stir until combined. Drop by tablespoonfuls on wax paper. Cool until set. Remove from wax paper and enjoy!
