Goodies!

These are probably one of my all time favorite cookies! My mom and dad both used to make these when we were growing up and my brother and I would scarf them down. Very easy, very tasty! The perfect summer cookie: no bake cookies means they won't heat up your house! Be warned, they're VERY addicting!!


The cookies looked boring without a little color, hence the strawberries :)


Ingredients:

1 stick of butter
2 cups of sugar
1/2 cup of milk
2 Tbsp cocoa
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
3 cups of oatmeal

Melt the butter over medium heat in a large saucepan.  Add sugar, milk and cocoa and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add peanut butter, stirring until smooth.  Stir in oatmeal.  Drop by tablespoons onto waxed paper or foil and let cool. Store in the refrigerator.  Eat them up, or give your Goodies as Goodies to a neighbor in need :)



I gave my cookies to my lovely neighbors. I attached a little note to my cookies. Here is what it said:

“Thank you for being great neighbors.
You really are quite sweet!
We wanted to bring you Goodies,
A fun little neighborly treat.
If ever you need a hand,
We hope you’ll call on us.
Were blessed to call you friends,
And good people we can trust.”

Enjoy, my friends!
