ChocoLate No BaKe cooKies!

"Stressed spelled backwards is desserts!"

I'm not a huge fan when it comes to sweets, but nothing reminds me of MOM more than her amazingly delicious No Bake cooKies!!

1/4 cup Margarine  = 1/2 stick
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
6 Tbsp baking cocoa
2/3 cup peanut butter
3 cups oatmeal
1 tsp Vanilla

Boil margarine, sugar, milk, and baking cocoa for 1 minute for a gooey no bake cookie (my fav.!) 3 minutes for harder (but still excellent cookies!) in a saucepan. remove from heat; mix in peanut butter, oatmeal, and vanilla.

Drop by spoonful onto a (slightly greased with butter) dinner plate . Refrigerate for 4 hours. Makes approximately 30 cookies.  I like to keep mine refrigerated to preserve their gooey texture, but if you prefer a drier cookie leave them at room temperature.
