No Bake Cookies

My absolute favorite childhood cookie. My mom made these all the time while growing up, they immediately take me back to the 1980’s when we ran barefoot, drank hose water and the only video games I had were Duck Hunt and Super Mario Bros.

No Bake Cookies

3 cups old fashioned oats

1 cup peanut butter

2 cups sugar

1/3 cup cocoa powder

1 stick butter

1/2 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

Combine all ingredients (except oats and peanut butter) in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 min. Add mixture to oats and add peanut butter, stir to combine. Scoop with cookie scoop on to parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Pop into fridge for 30 mins until set. Enjoy!
