Oatmeal Chocolate No Bake Cookies
Will’s Favorite No Bake Cookies
Will loves these cookies. Every time I make them, I cry. All day and all night after making these cookies, I cry.
I love him and I miss him so much. My whole entire identity is now gone. Because we lost Will.
So, now, I make and create as many connections to him and for him as I can.
When we were kids, one of my best friends from age 5 asked me one day, “do you want to make shit bars?”
Well, if you knew this friend, you’d know that we could be making real bars of anything that looked and smelled like actual poop emojis, or we could be baking.
Thank God we made cookies, and not eating fried worms off the top of a coffee can, cuz we read the book, How to Eat Fried Worms.
The typical chocolate no bake cookies.
Another one of my most favorite and bestest friends in the whole wide world, loves them too. So, these are doubly connected to my heart.
Really, any recipe off the internet will work. That is how I usually find the recipe when I need to make these cookies. But it’s the tips and tricks and the little things that make my cookies stand out.
Oatmeal Chocolate No Bake Cookies
Ingredients
Oats
Any kind. Honestly, I just grab the original cardboard container, with the Quaker guy on it, but most recipes call for quick cooking oats.Chunky peanut butter
Most recipes call for regular, but the chunky is the best for this recipe.2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup milk
3 TBS of unsweetened cocoa powder
Pinch of salt
Or 2 pinches if you’re salty.3 cups oats
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
I make my own.
Directions
Take the first 5 ingredients and melt them over medium heat.
Turn up the heat just a little bit and stir the butter sugar mixture until it starts to boil.
Once it starts to boil, you must boil it for 4 minutes. That is the key. You wont get the correct texture in your cookies if you don’t boil the mixture long enough.
Take the pot off the burner and add everything else. Mix until everything is mixed 100%.
Then, drop by cookie scoop size, or dinner spoon size onto your counter top and let them set up for at least an hour.
Enjoy at your leisure and maybe give Will a big shout out when you make and share these cookies with your loved ones.
Xoxo,
B
