Years ago when we were still on the farm, Lane came to me during school one morning to show me a recipe that was on his math page, of all places!

Well, of course math went out the window and we had to stop and make the recipe!

It is a great memory and this recipe has stuck around since that day.

These no bake cookies are that good!

To give credit for this recipe, I will say I am positive it was an ABeka math book, but I do not remember what grade Lane was in.

Of course we revised the recipe anyway, to fit our dietary needs!

This is the dairy-free milk and “butter” we use.

I buy our gluten-free oats off of Amazon prime, and this is the brand we use.

These cookies are a great summer treat, because you do not have to turn on the oven!

Let’s get to it so you can go and make them!

No Bake Cookies

1 1/2 cup sugar (we use coconut sugar and only 1 cup)
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup margarine or butter
3 cups quick cooking oats
1/4 cup peanut butter

Melt the first four ingredients in a sauce pan on the stove, stirring often. Let it come to a boil, and boil for one minute. Turn off the heat and add the last two ingredients. Stir the oats and peanut butter in thoroughly.

Drop by spoonfuls on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Place the tray into the freezer to set, and then move the cookies to an air tight container in the fridge.

*we use the small cookie scoop to drop these cookies, and it is fast and efficient!

Enjoy!!
