Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! I started this blog so I could share with others my love of cooking and my successes and failures that go along with it. I am definitely not a baker or chef but I certainly like to try! I hope you enjoy looking through my recipes and experiences - maybe you can relate! And if you have any tips or ideas please feel free to share!

No-bake Oatmeal Cookies

These are my absolute favorite cookies ever! They may not look the most appetizing...but oh my gosh they are the best! They're so easy to make and they are so good! If I sat down with a batch of these...I could definitely eat every single one of them. But that would be ridiculous and probably make me sick (but to be honest, it'd totally be worth it).

I had forgotten about these cookies until one day I got one of my crazy cravings. When I get one of these cravings, it must be satisfied or it will drive me insane! The only problem is that I usually can't pinpoint the craving and so sometimes it will go unsatisfied until I finally figure it out! Well this time I knew exactly what I was craving and these cookies hit the spot!

My mouth started watering just looking at this.

If you've never tried these before, I feel bad for you and highly recommend dropping everything right now and making them. You'll be happy you did. If you have tried them before, then you know the amazing-ness and simplicity of these cookies! Enjoy!

No-bake Oatmeal Cookies

1 cup sweetner or sugar
1/2 stick of unsalted butter
1/4 cup water or milk
2 tbs. cocoa
1/4 cup peanut butter (optional - but if you're not allergic to nuts I suggest adding it)
1 1/2 cups oatmeal
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

In a sauce pan, combine sweeter/sugar, butter, milk/water and cocoa on medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil for one minute and then remove from the heat. Add the vanilla and peanut butter, then stir in the oatmeal.

Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Spoon on the cookie dough and place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. Take out of the freezer and savor every bite!
