I know everyone thinks that their mother has the best cookie recipe, but mine actually does. My mother has perfected this no bake cookie recipe down to what kind of spoon is best to you and we’ve all gained some sugary pounds in the process.

This is the recipe word for word (copy and pasted) from the email she sent me one day when I was craving her cookies:

Marie’s NO BAKE COOKIES
 
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup Milk ( almond milk and coconut milk also works)
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup cocoa
1 stick butter
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
3 cups oatmeal
 
 
Using wooden spoon  stir constantly while melting sugar milk vanilla cocoa and butter  over medium heat and bring to a  low rolling boil and boil for exactly 2 minutes (no longer).
Remove from heat  and add the crunchy peanut butter and the oats. Mix thoroughly with wooden spoon and  then using a metal spoon  drop by teaspoons on to foil . Let set and then eat asap .
 
they can dry out fast and will dry out fast if you boil too long and if you boil too short they will be runny and won’t set up.
Also sometimes they won’t set in some weather
 
they always taste good whether they set or not!
 
ENJOY
 
love MOMMY

I seriously considered not posting this recipe since it’s so good, but ultimately I decided that no one will every make these as well as my mother so there’s no harm in sharing.
