I’m still posting daily, y’all. WOO HOO!! If anyone is still reading my blog, I hope the shock of my regular posting isn’t too much for you. Ha!! It has honestly been great for me to get back into the swing of things with my blog. I’m enjoying it.
Today, I am thankful for no-bake cookies. That’s right, cookies. Ever since I read Kim’s blog entry on no-bakes over at Stirring the Pot, I have had a craving for these wonderful cookies. I remember the first time I ever made and tried these cookies. It was one summer at 4-H camp in cooking class. They were delicious then and they still are! I haven’t made any no-bake cookies in ages, but I got a recipe together last night and whipped up a half batch. Oh, they did NOT disappoint. So ooey, gooey good when they were still warm and continued to be good as they cooled and set. YUM YUM YUM!! I’ll post the recipe to share because I’m nice like that. Enjoy!
No-Bake Cookies
2 cups sugar
½ stick butter
1 ½ cups peanut butter (I used chunky)
½ cup sugar
4 tbsp. Hershey’s cocoa
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 ½ cups old fashioned oats
Mix all ingredients except oats. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Stir constantly, w/o stopping, add oats and stir well to coat. Spoon out onto wax paper. Let cool to set.

I halved that recipe and it made a dozen cookies. I used a scoop to form the cookies and they turned out just right. I love the chunky peanut butter because the little chunks of peanut give so much flavor.
