I made these yesterday, and it is hard not to eat the whole two dozen. (The recipe made 27, actually, but I already ate those extra three.) They have too much sugar, perhaps a bit too much fat, and are just. too. good. Make these right now, let them cool on the cookie sheet, then refrigerate them overnight (though you can eat the extra three while they're cooling, like I did), and you'll wake up to chocolate happiness tomorrow. They're good for you because of all of the endorphins from the scant amount of chocolate. Right?
From the Food Network (appearing via Flipboard, for me):
Chocolate Peanut-Butter No-Bake Cookies
Ingredients:
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 tablespoons cocoa
- 1 stick butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 3 cups old-fashioned oatmeal
- Waxed paper
Directions:
In a heavy saucepan bring sugar, cocoa, butter and milk to a boil. Let boil for 1 minute, then add peanut butter, vanilla and oatmeal. On a sheet of waxed paper, drop mixture by the teaspoonfuls until cooled and hardened. (I did Tablespoonfulls and got 27 of about 2-inch diameter.)
(Note from Rox: I also think these are better after refrigeration, which is where I'd store them.)
Enjoy!
