grandma's cookbook - No-Bake Cookies!

Around my house there is a cookie which whenever I make them, never stays around for long . . . the no-bake cookie! And, since today is going to be hot - in the 80s and humid - a no-bake cookie is definitely the kind of cookie to make if you are making cookies today! Try my grandma's recipe with your grandchildren . . . it is sure to become a family favorite!

Ingredients -

• 1 cup milk
• 2/3 cup cocoa
• 1 cup peanut-butter
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 3 1/2 cups sugar
• 6 cups oatmeal

Directions -

• bring to a boil milk, cocoa, sugar and butter and boil for one minute.
• stir in peanut-butter and vanilla
• add oats
• drop onto wax paper
• freeze until ready to eat
• enjoy! :^)

As I mentioned above, store these cookies in the freezer - they are sooo enjoyable when they are frozen! The combination of freezing and not baking these cookies makes them a great option for a summer-time treat! As you make and enjoy these cookies with your grandchildren share with them stories about your childhood - tell them what your favorite cookies were and how you learned to make them! 

Cooking with your grandchildren is the perfect opportunity to talk with them about things which really matter, so be sure to take advantage of this opportunity . . . not only will you be able to share sweet treats with them, but you will be able to pass on a legacy of faith to them . . . and this is the sweetest "treat" of all! :^)
