Peanut Butter No Bakes

Peanut Butter No Bakes.

I love peanut butter. And chocolate. And oatmeal cookies aren't half bad either. Why not combine them all?

-1/2 cup butter

-4 Tablespoons cocoa powder

- 2 cups sugar

-1/2 cup milk

-1 cup peanut butter

-1 Tablespoon vanilla

-3 cups oats

-Wax paper

Pretty simple ingredients. 

Step 1: Melt the goodies! 

Combine the butter, sugar, cocoa, and milk. 

Mix this slowly and make sure the butter does not burn at the bottom of the pan.

Step 2: Bring to a boil.

After all of the first ingredients are combined, bring them to a boil. 

Let boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat.

Step 3: Mix in the rest! 

Now mix in the peanut butter, vanilla, and oats.

Return the pan to low heat to melt peanut butter while combining. 

Step 4: Make the cookies! 

Line a pan with wax paper and drop teaspoon size amounts of mix onto the pan. Spread out to make larger cookies if desired. Refrigerate cookies to cool and harden.

Line cookie sheet with wax paper. This will make for easy cleanup and cookie removal!

I used a regular spoon to drop the cookies onto the pan.

I spread the cookies out a bit to make them bigger. Refrigerate for at least an hour to harden.

Step 5: Eat up! 

Another 5 step recipe! Pretty simple! And delicious! :)
