Tonight I grilled up juicy burgers topped with melty cheese, crunchy warm bacon and juicy pickles....oh my mouth is watering all over again. I was going to take an after picture but... uh forgot.
After that settled a little I made what is probably one of my favorite cookies of all times. I don't know if it is because they are chocolate and peanutbutter, or because they are soooo easy to make. I have probably talked about them before but if you have not tried "No Bake Cookies" you are missing something.
No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
2 C Sugar
8 T Butter
1/3 C Cocoa powder
1/2 C Milk
1 t vanilla extract
1/2 C Creamy or crunchy Peanut Butter
2 1/2 to 3 C Rolled oats (not instant)
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, cocoa, milk and vanilla. Bring to a slow boil, and simmer unitl the sugar has dissolved.
Stir in the peanut butter.
Remove from heat and stir in 2 1/2 C oats. The mixtures should be thick, add remaining oats if nessicary
Line cookie sheet or counter with parchment paper. Drop the mixture by the spoonfull onto the paper. Let cool and ENJOY!
