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!

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!
