My father is quite an extraordinary man. Not only does he care for us and help us when we need it, but he actually cleans, repairs, irons AND cooks. I have a lot of wonderful memories of coming home from school and smelling a sweet chocolatey scent coming from the kitchen. I'd run up there thinking that it was my mom, but it was Dad! And he was making his famous no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies.
These cookies are melt-in-your-mouth perfection, and they're not all that bad for you! Chocolate, oatmeal, tasty crumbs... it was the perfect afterschool snack!
No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients
1 stick of butter
2 cups of sugar
a pinch of salt
2/3 cup cocoa powder (dark chocolate preferred)
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup peanut butter
3 cups of rolled oats uncooked
Directions
Melt butter in sauce pan and add sugar, milk, cocoa powder, and salt. Boil for 1 minute. Add everything but oats and stir. Take off burner and add oats, stirring until completely mixed. Spoon out into cookie sized amounts onto waxpaper covered cookie sheets. Let cool (in the refrigerator) and enjoy!
