Easy Peasy Chocolate Peanut-Butter No Bake Cookie Recipe

Ingredients:

2 cups sugar

4 tablespoons cocoa

1 stick butter

1/2 cup milk

1 cup peanut butter

1 tablespoon vanilla

3 cups oatmeal

Waxed paper

Directions:

In a pan bring to a boil, the sugar, cocoa, butter and 1/2 cup of milk. Let boil for 1 minute then mix in the peanut butter, vanilla and oatmeal. Next, drop mixture by the spoonfuls onto a sheet of waxed paper, or in our case foil, until cooled and hardened.

This recipe is a favorite in our home, mainly because they are so easy to make. The only thing hard about this recipe is the willpower it takes from eating all of them in one setting. :) Enjoy!

National Cookie Day & FREE Recipe Binder Printables

Did you know that December 4 is National Cookie Day?

What a great day to make cookies. I mean everyday is a great day to make cookies, but now I have a reason to actually make them and ~~devour~~ eat them if I so please. :) I'm posting this a day early, so those of us that have to plan ahead and purchase, can do so. I sure don't have the things at home to make a day out of baking, so I will be making a store run later on. We are going to research our favorite cookie recipes. I'm pretty sure I found the mother load of cookie recipes. You can Click Here to see the huge list.

I also learned something pretty neat today. Did you know that the English word "cookie" is derived from the Dutch word "koekje," which means little cake? Pretty Cool!

We are also going to be working on our recipe binder. Adding to it and organizing it a bit. I love having a recipe binder and I'll tell you why. The other day I was running late on making it home and my husband calls and says "Honey, I'm going to make supper." I'm thinking that is pretty wonderful! He then says he would make a certain meal, if he knew how. Yep, that's when I respond "Oh, it's in the recipe binder." :) Saved by the binder.
