Greg and Hannah are more interested in cooking now, which is great with me! They enjoy making what doesn't take too long to make, so this is one of their favorites cookie recipes. It's a version of No-Bake, but they like it because it's simple for them to make and it doesn't have ingredients they don't like, like coconut for example. (I help stir during the 5 min of cooking!) This recipe came from Hannah's favorite cookbook called, "Class Treats" by Lia Roessner Wilson.
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup milk
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
3 cups quick-cooking oats
Melt butter over low heat in saucepan on the stove. Add vanilla, milk, sugar and cocoa powder. Wisk all ingredients until smooth. Put burner on HIGH and stir with wisk until mixture boils. Continue to cook and stir with wisk for 5 more minutes, stirring often to prevent burning. Remove saucepan from heat and stir in oats - mix well.
Drop heaping spoonfuls onto waxed paper and allow to cool. Makes 1 dozen big cookies, or 2 dozen small cookies.
