No Bake Chocolate Cookies

Wow, how neglected my poor food blog is. I can't believe it's been more than 4 months since I posted on here...oops! LOL. So I'm going to try to get at least a few recipes posted this weekend.

This is one of my favourite cookie recipes. Not only is it so chocolaty and full of yumminess, but it's super easy to make and you don't even have to turn on the oven to do make them, just need the stove. I will most likely be making these again within the next few days. They are definitely bad for my ever widening body, but they are definitely the perfect comfort thing right now with what's going on with us right now(if you don't read my main blog, My Absent Mind, my hubby got laid off a couple weeks ago).

So enjoy this great addition to any holiday cookie tray, but great all year long! Can you believe I took this pic last Christmas and never got around to posting this recipe! Not that it's a hard recipe to find mind you lol, I think this is a pretty popular cookie!

1/4 cup cocoa

2 cups Sugar

1/2 cup Milk

1/2 cup Margarine

1/2 cup Peanut Butter

3 cups Quick-Cooking Oatmeal(I've used regular Oatmeal before by accident and they came out just as good)

1 teaspoon Vanilla(am I the only one who thinks there's never enough vanilla and adds a few good chugs of this stuff?)

1 good pinch of Salt

1. Mix cocoa, sugar, milk and margarine in a saucepan and bring to a boil, cook for about a minute.

2.Remove saucepan from heat and add all the remaining ingredients, mix well.

3. Drop spoonfuls onto wax paper and let cool.

I will often put a sheet of wax paper on one of my baking sheets and put some of the cookies on there so I can set it in the fridge or freezer so some of them set quicker so we can enjoy them sooner.....I mean who wants to look at them and have to wait for them? We want them now don't we?
