No Bake Cookies {AKA Poop Cookies}

Yesterday was a momentus occasion for this little blog. We reached 500 followers! Hooray! I can hardly believe it. Thank you all so much for your support and kind words over the last couple months. We've had so much fun here and can't wait for more fun times to come! Don't worry, there will be a giveaway coming shortly to celebrate these exciting happenings. And it's going to be awesome. Trust me - you don't want to miss it!

Anyway, today's post is brought to you by Zoom. You know, that T.V. show with the kids that teach you cool things? Ok, it's not really. But I'll have you know that my best friend, Kaitlyn, {who happens to now be my cousin, since I married her cousin. Booyah!} was obsessed with Zoom when we were younger. As a result, we would make things all the time, pretending we were on Zoom and were teaching the world about our stuff. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life as I did during some of those "shows". One of our favorite recipes to make for it, were no bake cookies. {Or as Kaitlyn liked to call them - "poop cookies".}

I know that everyone and their dog has probably heard of these things and has their own family recipe, but I'm going to tell you how we do it around these parts. Ah-ah-ahem.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
• 1-3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup milk
• 4 Tbsp. cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup peanut butter {I use smooth, but I'm sure crunchy would work too}
• 3-1/2 cups quick oats
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Melt butter in a medium saucepan.
2. Add sugar, milk, and cocoa powder and combine well.
3. Bring to a boil and cook for 1-1/2 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and add peanut butter and mix until smooth.
5. Add vanilla and oats respectively.
6. Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper.
7. Let cool and set up before eating.

These are super rich, but I still somehow manage to eat way more than I should. I guess that just proves how delicious they are! Enjoy.
