No Bake Cookies
I love the Christmas holiday season! My mom and Sister In Law and niece always have a baking day thru the holidays and I decided to join them this year! We baked all day since we did several types of cookies and made enough to split between us, which is 4 families! My favorite is the Thumbprint or the No Bake, it's a toss up!
½ cup butter or ½ cup margarine
2 cups sugar
½ cup milk
4 tablespoons cocoa
½ cup creamy peanut butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
3½ cups dry quick-cooking oats
Add the first four ingredients into a 4-quart sauce pan. Bring to a rolling boil and hold for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
Add peanut butter into the hot mixture and stir until melted. Add in vanilla. (almond extract is good also, but I only use 1/2 teaspoon almond and 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla).
Mix in the oats and drop by tablespoons onto wax paper.
Let cool until set.
