No Bake Cookies

My girls wanted some chocolate cookies. I figured lets make today a fun play and bake day so I decided to have them make a No Bake Cookie. This cookie does not have eggs or flour.  It is a healthier alternative to the pre-package FULL sugar and FULL additive cookies you find in the store. Seriously no one will know the difference because they are DE-LISH! So heres the 'cipe:

No Bake Cookies:
1 1/8 cup Raw Sugar
1 stick butter (I used unsalted but you can use salted if you like that sweet with salty)
3 tablespoons cocoa powder (un-sweetended)
1/2 cup milk
1/2-2/3 cup extra crunchy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 1/4 cups old fashioned oatmeal (not the quick cook kind)

Place the sugar, butter, cocoa and milk in a 2 quart sauce pan. Place over medium high heat and stir until butter is completely melted. Take off heat and immediately put peanut butter and vanilla in the pot. Stir until peanut butter is melted. Then stir in the oatmeal. See the chocolate goodness? Mmmm! Spoon onto parchment paper. You can choose the size of the cookies you want. I made mine the size of a normal cookie. Allow the cookies to cool and set completely. When done watch the kiddos and adults devour!!
