Chocolate and Peanut Butter No-bake Cookies

Whilst I was living in America I was amazed by these cookies! A cookie that you don't even have to bake.....revolutionary!
Heres the recipe, they're quick, delicious and you even save electricity!


chocolate + peanut butter oatmeal cookies

2 cups sugar -- I use organic raw cane sugar

2 tablespoons cocoa

1/2 cup skim milk

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup natural peanut butter (creamy)

2 cups unrolled oats

1 teaspoon vanilla

In a boiler, combine sugar, cocoa, milk and butter. Stir. Put boiler over medium-low heat until boiling. Boil for 2 minutes while stirring continuously. Remove from heat. Quickly add peanut butter. Add oats and combine. Add vanilla. Drop by the spoon-full onto parchment or wax paper.

The cookies begin to harden as they cool, so move quickly.
