Best No-Bake Recipe!

No Bake Cookies

2 cups sugar
3 Tbs Cocoa
½ cup milk
1 tsp Vanilla
½ cup margarine
½ cup Chunky Peanut butter (I like Jif)
3 cups oatmeal

Boil sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa for 1 minute. Stir while boiling and watch to make sure it doesn’t boil over. Remove from heat and add vanilla and peanut butter. Stir in oatmeal ½ cup at a time. Drop onto wax paper (or tin foil) and let set (about 10-15 minutes). Once cookies have set, store in an airtight container.

Note: Do not add too much oatmeal or they will dry out. If making a single batch, 3 cups or slightly less is about right. Add just enough to make sure they are thick enough to hold their shape (like little mountains). If making a double batch, it is especially important that you add oatmeal a little at a time as you usually only need 5 ½ cups or so.
