No Bake Cookies
This Christmas season has been one of the busiest, I don't know if its because I have two kids or maybe it's because I am busy writing on here!? To say the least, I do like to be busy... but I am really looking forward to the New Year where everything seems to slow down and I can catch my breath again! Baking is one of those things I try to avoid if both Jack and Max are awake. I enjoy baking and cooking but without distractions, unless Toopy and Binoo is on, then we're good! There has been a few episodes where Jack has 'helped' me make something and we have accidentally put a little to much of this or that... I guess those goods are extra special ;) I'm sharing a simple recipe no bake cookies for those of you that are busy with kids, need a last minute item or just enjoy a little chocolate and peanut butter combo.Ingredients• 2 cups sugar• 1/2 cup milk• 1/2 cup butter• 1 teaspoon salt• 3 tablespoons cocoa• 3 cups oatmeal• 1/2 cup peanut butter• 1 teaspoon vanilla
