No-Bake Cookies

One of my favorite and fairly quick cookie recipes is No-Bake Cookies. They're a relatively healthy and filling cookie due to the quick oats and are easy to pack for a school day snack for the "Hunnybun". And I curled up with one after reading Goobs a bedtime story and putting her to bed for the night. I won't tell you the nickname we've given them until after you've tried them for yourselves! This recipe comes from an old ward compassionate recipe book.

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 cup milk
1 stick margarine
1/2 cup peanut butter (chunky or creamy is just fine)
3 cups quick oats

Combine the sugar, cocoa, milk, and margarine into a saucepan. Put on medium heat, stir often and bring to a boil. Take off of heat and stir in peanut butter and then the oats. Drop by spoonfuls onto cookie sheets covered with wax paper. Cool in refrigerator. Eat up!
