NO-BAKE COOKIES
Make these for your family; take a plate to work; bring them along to a potluck. Wherever
you serve them, you'll hear cries of "These are my favorite kind of cookie!"
They're everyone's favorite, but many people claim that they can't make them--some crisis
always strikes. The secret lies in the proportion of ingredients, but also in the cooking
time: Boil the mixture 1 minute--no less, or they won't set; no more, or they'll crumble
apart. Makes about 2 dozen.
2 c sugar, 1/2 c milk, 1/2 c unsweetened cocoa, 1/2 c butter, 3 c quick oats, 1/2 c peanut
butter,
1 tsp vanilla
Place oats, peanut butter, and vanilla in a large bowl. Set aside.
Combine sugar, milk, cocoa, and butter in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil; boil 1 minute
(no longer!). Remove from heat. Pour over oat mixture; stir well.
Drop by large spoonfuls onto waxed paper and let cool.
