Have made these for all 40 years I've been married. The kids still request Dad to make them every chance they get. Hint....MAKE EXTRAS, they go fast.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

How To Make no bake cookies

  • Step 1
    Put sugar, cocoa, milk and butter in saucepan.
  • Step 2
    Over medium to medium-high heat bring to boil, stirring frequently.
  • Step 3
    Boil for 1 minute and 15 seconds. (I've found that the extra 15 seconds makes sure the sugar is fully melted and they more consistently set up.)
  • Step 4
    Remove immediately from heat and add peanut butter. Stir until peanut butter is melted and blended.
  • Step 5
    Add vanilla and blend.
  • Step 6
    Add oatmeal and stir until all the oatmeal is coated and covered with chocolate.
  • Step 7
    Drop by tablespoon on to sheets of foil. Allow to cool.
  • Step 8
    Enjoy.
