No Bake Cookies

(I love this recipe to get the kids in the kitchen making fun food!)

Ingredients:

1/2 cup milk (I use whole milk)

2 cups sugar

1 stick of butter (real butter works best – unsalted)

2 Tbsp cocoa powder

1 cup crunchy peanut butter

3 cups old fashioned oats

Instructions:

Mix milk, sugar, butter and cocoa in saucepan.

Bring mixture to a boil and boil for 1 minute (no less).

Turn heat off and add the peanut butter and I whisk until it is combined and then add the oats.

Mix and drop from a spoon onto a parchment or wax paper on the counter or on a cookie sheet.

Let them cool and get firm.

If they are not hardening well you can refrigerate them to make the process faster.
