I have had people ask me all this week what these are and they had no clue. They are also known as No Bake Cookies, Mississippi Mud Cookies and I have no idea the other colloquial name for them. They are a combination of fudge and oatmeal cookies. They are very decadent and if you get the boil just right, the sugar isn't grainy. I decided to share the recipe with every one so they can see how entirely simple they are to make and might attempt them for themselves. This is a perfect recipe for a teen to try but since the mixture is like molten lava, I would supervise anyone under 13.
1 3/4 c white sugar
1/2 c milk
1/2 c butter
4 T cocoa powder
1/2 c crunchy peanut butter
3 c quick cook oats
1 t vanilla extract
Combine the first four ingredients and bring to a boil. From the point of boil, time it for one and a half minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the peanut butter and vanilla and then add the oats. Drop by a small scoop or tablespoons onto wax paper. Work quickly because it cools fairly quickly. Allow to cool completely. Serves 36. Time 45 minutes might take longer to cool.
