Make Something Monday: No Bake Cookies!
Monday, January 05, 2009 Posted by Felicia
My Great Grandmother's Unbaked Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients:
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
6 Tbsp cocoa
2/3 cup peanut butter
2 cups quick cooking oats
Directions:
Combine sugar, milk and vanilla, bring to a rolling boil and boil one minute. Add peanut butter, combine oats and cocoa; add to mixture. Spoon onto waxed paper. Let set about one hour.
These are super easy to make and they are so good! Not to mention, because this recipe is from the dark ages, it is cheap! I love it when you don't have to spend a fortune to make some decent home made cookies!

I LOVE No Bakes, but they never seem to turn out what I make them...most of the time you can eat mine through a straw...yuck! But yours look so yummy!
I left you an award over @ My Mommy Said!

These are one of my favs! Ok I need to get my butt in gear and put up the pot roast I made. Hopefully at lunch I can do that.
I can't wait to see the bear cake! Ice Cream ... YUMMY!
Tired whatcha talking about, with all this running around why don't I look like Mary Kate Olson?

I love these cookies! Anything that contains peanut butter is an instant hit here.

I remember having those when I was a kid. My Aunt used to make them for us! I might have to try them myself! Thanks!!

These have been a favorite in my family (and church family as well!) for as long as I can remember!!
Now that the holidays are over, I'm supposed to be eating better... But seeing this post makes me think I'm about to cheat! You had to include pics, didn't you?! =)

That looks like something that would disappear in no time here! I have honestly never made no-bake cookies. Maybe I will give it a shot.

These look really good. I was going to try to make them for Einstein's cookie exchange this Friday, but there's an issue with peanut allergies...darn. I'll make them for our house later.

These have always been one of my favorite cookies! These are just like the ones that my family has made forever too!

I love these. My dad makes them all the time!

You're too kind. I'm just a novice digital scrapbooker trying to learn as much as I can from all the other talented experts.
January 6, 2009 1:38 PM
Oh my! Those look nummy-nummy! I will be trying these :) YUM
p.s. Let me know when you get your dog tags and that they are what you expected--they should be arriving any day! (I'm posting another contest for dog tags on my blog right now if you're interested!)

I love no bake cookies...my MIL makes them for hubby as a special treat when we go visit. Plus, I think they may have been the first thing I learned to make when I was little.
Yours look delicious!

I love this recipe! A good friend of mine and I always used to make this recipe when we were together. YUM!

My sister and I used to make these when we were younger.
I remember that we loved them!

I make these same cookies only without the peanut butter. They are sooooo good. Nothing like (almost) instant gratification!
I want to participate in Make Something Monday (my first time :) ) so I'm posting an easy recipe for blue cheese chicken (with a variation for feta cheese/sun-dried tomato chicken) on my blog. I'll go do all the linkies now. Thank you!

Nope.. no butter needed! They are awesome without it!
