Some people know this as no-bake cookies, but whatever the name, these are to die for.
Missouri Cookies
2 c sugar
1/3 c evaporated milk
1/3 c unsweetened cocoa powder
stick of butter
1/4 tsp vanilla
1/2 peanut butter - I like using crunchy for the extra texture
3 c oatmeal
Melt together first 3 ingredients in pan on medium, bring to a roiling boil and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and then the peanut butter until mixed well. Add the oatmeal 1 cup at a time. If it starts drying, add a little extra cream. Scoop out with a TSP and put on waxed paper to dry.
Takes about 20 minutes from start to finish..
Damn, can't believe I left off the most important ingredient. Added it now.
