These have always been one of my favorite cookies. Mom usually made them around Christmas time to add a little filler to her cookie trays. She loved that they were fast and easy and something she could make while the oven was being used. She was all about efficiency! And it didn't hurt that they had chocolate AND peanut butter in them. YUM!
Chocolate No-Bake Cookies
2 cups Sugar
½ cup Milk
Dash of Salt
½ cup Cocoa
¼ pound (1 stick) Margarine
½ cup Peanut Butter
1 tsp. Vanilla
3 cups Quick Quaker Oats
Blend sugar, milk, salt, cocoa, and margarine in a saucepan over medium heat and then bring to a boil. Boil for one minute, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and immediately add peanut butter, vanilla, and oats. Mix well (use a large spoon – not a mixer.) Drop by teaspoons onto cookie sheets covered with foil or waxed paper. Refrigerate to help cookies become firm.
This recipe makes about 4 dozen cookies. They freeze well.
