Lunchroom Cookies

Photobucket

I've heard these called chocolate oatmeal cookies, no bake cookies, Suzy No-Bakes, and stove-top oatmeal cookies. To me, they will always be Lunchroom Cookies, because we always had them at school when I was growing up.

They are ridiculously easy to make, and you don't have a lot of dishes to wash when you're finished, which is a nice bonus. If you're out of eggs, no problem - you don't need any for Lunchroom Cookies.

This is the recipe I use. I hope you like it! It is, technically, a 'half recipe', but we are a small family. Feel free to double it if you have many people to share them with. :)

Lunchroom Cookies

1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup milk
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons, 1/4 cup) butter or margarine
1/4 cup peanut butter (we prefer chunky for this recipe)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups quick or minute oats (if you use old fashioned, you will need about 1/4 cup additional oats)

Instructions:

Combine sugar, cocoa powder, milk and butter or margarine in a medium size saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and boil for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add peanut butter and vanilla extract; stir to combine. Add oats, stir until combined. Drop by the spoonful (or use a cookie scoop) on waxed paper or a silicone mat and let cool. Remove when cooled for eating; store in an airtight container. Enjoy!

I must try these! And easy is sooooo good too... Thanks for sharing your recipe!

How wonderful you have your own beeswax! One day I'd love to have bees! And that is exactly what is used for the egg decorating. Check out this wonderfully resourceful website for all your eastern egg decorating needs. And if you have any questions, anytime, don't hesitate to ask me. I'd love to be of assistance.
