NO Bake Peanut Butter Cookies

Yields 2 Dozen

While the peanut butter is completely optional here, if you don't like it, it really does adds a whole new dimension to these fudge-like cookies. They won’t heat up your house, either because they are no-bake, which means they are ideal for summer snacks, but we like to make them year round!

The best part is that these cookies are kind of healthy, so you don’t have to feel guilty about making them.....or finishing off the whole batch in one day! The oatmeal adds fiber and nutrition and they are flavored with cocoa and peanut butter, both healthy options. *wink*

Ingredients
2 C Sugar
1/2 C Milk
1/2 C Margarine (1 stick)
1/2 C Cocoa
3 C Oats
1/4 C Mini chocolate chips (optional)
1/4 C Peanut butter (optional)

Directions
Mix sugar and cocoa in a pot.
Add milk and margarine and cook over medium heat until the mixture starts to boil. Stir in the peanut butter and let boil for one minute.

Remove from heat and stir in the oats.
Add chocolate chips and drop by the spoonful onto a cookie sheet lined with tinfoil or waxed paper.
You can let them set on the counter (humid days don’t work well), but in our house, we’re so impatient we pop the tray in the freezer for ten minutes to speed things up!

Enjoy!

Baking with Breeze

Baking is something I love to do.
So, with everything else I am posting on the other site that is serious, I thought better to just separate this and 'Go To Town' with some down home, full of love cooking, baking and having fun!

I also love to collect cook books and here's a tip for you, should you be looking for some choice books. Some of the best recipes you will find are in books you find at garage sales or thrift stores, the good ole fashioned ones.

I don't usually like to pay more than a couple dollars on older books, but on the odd occasion that it's a one of a kind I will give in.

Not that I am too much of a miser, but I love to spoil family and friends with things, so why should a book, unless it is new come to more than a dollar or two from my pocket? I also buy new ones and you might want to browse them or go to your local library to check out if there is more than one recipe you are gonna use, before you chuck down $30. for a new book.
Online avenues such as amazon.com and ebay are good sources, as long as you don't get stuck paying a ton for S/H.




I will be posting recipes - most of which I will have tried; and pictures for them, as I loooove to look at books with pictures for each recipe I see.

I love Kitchen Tips, Ideas, and Photos of awesome recipes; so anything you want to add, please feel free, because I am going to be posting a ton myself.
