No Bake Cookies

Yummy No Bake Cookie

I remember before we discovered we were gluten intolerant, we used to make no-bake cookies. Now, we have them again.

The oats can be either whole or quick-cooking; we prefer whole oats in our cookies but I have used quick-cooking ones and they turn out just as well.

Ingredients

2 cups white sugar

½ cup butter

½ cup milk

4 tablespoons cocoa powder

3 cups GF oats (I use Quaker oats and we have no reaction, but if you are very sensitive I would advise using something that is certified gluten-free)

1/3 cup peanut butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a small saucepan, mix together sugar, butter, and milk. Heat saucepan at medium-high and bring to a boil. Stir constantly to keep mix from burning.

Let mix boil for one minute and then remove from heat. Add oats, cocoa, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Place on a buttered cookie sheet and refrigerate for at least thirty minutes.
