Everyone needs a good dessert recipe for when your short on time and cash. These delicious and simple cookies are my answer to this dilemma. It's a recipe from my youth. And yes it hasn't escaped my notice that they look like something you might find in the backyard or in a diaper. These aren't pretty, but they are pretty tasty.



No Bake Cookies
2 cups of sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
pinch of salt




in a large saucepan bring to boil over med heat stirring frequently
remove from heat stir in


1 tsp vanilla
3 tbls peanut butter
3 cups oatmeal Note: works best with quick cook oats!

drop by the spoonfull onto wax paper and let sit until cool and hard.
