Before you begin

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: No Baking Required
Yields: 25-50 cookies, dependent upon size you'd like

Additional information:
My mom always makes these at Christmas. She'd make them the night of Christmas Eve and I'd sneak out and steal a cookie and a peek at my stocking when I was supposed to be sleeping. They require no baking, but you have to be quick when you make them because they dry fast. A good tip is to have all of your supplies ready (and ingredients measured) before you begin so you have them on hand.

Ingredients

  • 1 stick margarine or butter
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/4 cup cocoa
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • dash of salt
  • 1/2 cup chunky peanutbutter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 cups quick cooking oats

  • Spare newspapers
  • Wax paper
  • Large saucepan
  • teaspoons
  • Pot holder

Directions

  1. Spread newspaper on a tabletop that no animals can jump on, covering the entire surface. Cover newspaper with wax paper. This is where you will be "baking" cookies.

  2. Bring first five ingredients to a boil in a large saucepan and cook 1 minute, stirring steadily.

  3. Add last three ingredients and mix well. (A big wooden spoon works well for this)

  4. Transport saucepan to table where wax paper is spread and rest on a pot holder. Take teaspoons and drop cookie sized portions of the mixture onto the wax paper. Be quick as mixture dries quickly.

  5. Let dry over night. In the morning you'll have delicious treats!
