Today's recipe is one of my favorite childhood cookies!
We would always gather in the kitchen when my Mom would make a batch of these cookies, and the best thing about them? They cook and cool so fast that you can eat them asap!
Most recipes for these no bake cookies I see floating around online include peanut butter as an ingredient. My Mom always made them this way, with no peanut butter. These are pure chocolate goodness and perfect for those with a peanut allergy!
We love to make these on a regular basis, or even for the holidays! Since they are so easy to make, they are perfect for bake sales, potlucks, or holiday cookie exchanges.
It's been awhile since I've posted anything here on the blog!
We've been busy with community events, family stuff and my daughter just started basketball this week!
She just found a new love of sports within the last couple months. When basketball sign-ups came home from school a few weeks ago we decided to let her play and see how she likes it!
So far she's had two practices, but is enjoying every minute! I can't wait to see her potential and watch some of her upcoming games!
We also have alot of exciting stuff coming up within the next few weeks!
The non profit I work at, Promise Neighborhood is partnering with a local group to make some Thanksgiving food and blanket baskets for our families. We are also continuously planning our youth and mentoring activities and nights!
This Friday we are hosting a Thanksgiving themed Youth Night with themed activities, arts and crafts, math and reading club and so much more! I really enjoy working with the youth and families in our city and it's so fun and rewarding!
We are also traveling to my sister's house for Thanksgiving, attending a Timberwolves basketball game and SO much more!
This is why blogging has slowed down a bit, but I'm hoping I can get back at it soon enough!
I hope you enjoy today's recipe! It's tried and true, and I'm sure most of you have tried a variation of this cookie over the years!
What are the ingredients in this recipe?
- Butter: A dairy product consisting of approximately 80% butterfat and made from the fat and protein components of milk or cream. Most commonly made from cow's milk, but can also be made from sheep, goat, yak, or buffalo milk.
- Vanilla extract: this extract is made from vanilla bean pods soaked in water and alcohol. Try using pure vanilla extract instead of imitation. This is the most common extract used in American desserts and I put it in pretty much anything sweet, Use store bought or make your own here!
- Granulated sugar: Also known as white sugar, table sugar or regular sugar. It's grainy, common and used in many types of recipes.
- Oatmeal: A type of coarse flour made of hulled oat grains that have either been milled, steel cut, or rolled. Oats are among the healthiest grains. They're a gluten free whole grain and a great source of vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants. Some different oats include: Oat Bran, Steel Cut Oats, Rolled Oats, and Instant Oats.
- milk
- unsweetened cocoa
Recipe tips:
- If your cookies are too wet and don't set, try boiling the mixture a little longer
- Don't start timing until it is at a full boil, and then it should be about 1-2 minutes of boiling
- If your no bakes are crumbly and dry, stick closer to 1 minute
- Don't use old fashioned oats, quick instant oats are a must
- Store in an airtight container, up to two weeks in the refrigerator
