MY   NO   BAKE  COOKIES   RECIPE

                      4 C. Instant Oatmeal         1 Stick Butter (1/2 C.)     2 C. Sugar (I use 1 1/2)

                    1/2 C. Smooth Peanut Butter    1 T. Vanilla    3 Heaping T. Cocoa Powder

             
                    1/2 C. Milk            Pinch of salt (this brings out the sweetness)

                    1/2 C. Dried Cranberries ( sometimes use golden raisins)  

                     1/2 C. Chopped Walnuts

                    Place the butter, sugar, peanut butter, and milk in a large saucepan and bring to a

                    slow boil whisking the entire time. As it comes to a boil add the Coca Powder.

                    from heat and add the salt, vanilla, cranberries, and nuts, then lastly, the oatmeal.

                    I use 4 C. oatmeal for this gives the mixture a nicer base to retain the round

                    shape.

                    At this time if you want you may add 3/4 C. Dark Chocolate Chips.  Using a spoon

                    or as I do, an ice cream scoop. I have my trusty antique one that I use, drop onto 

                    parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Let set for a few hours. ENJOY!
