No Bake Cookies… a great activity to do with your kids!
So my husband is the Cub Master for our son’s Cub Scout Troop. This week’s activity will be making cookies. What group of boys wouldn’t want to learn to make cookies when they get to eat them afterwards?
Yeah.
Today my husband asked me for my No Bake Cookie recipe. After looking at my copy of the recipe, I realized NO ONE would be able to create an edible cookie from the chicken scratch I have on the paper. I decided to type it up. Not only did I type it up, but I put in step-by-step instructions for 9 year old boys.
I think I will share the recipe with you…

In large saucepan, combine sugar, butter, cocoa and milk. Mix on stove over medium heat until melted and boiling. Boil for 60 seconds while stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and peanut butter. When peanut butter is completely melted add in oatmeal and coconut.

Stumble it!
James has come to think he has perfected this recipe. I have never thought of adding coconut but that sounds good, maybe we will try it that way next time. One addition that James added when we were in Germany was really good. He would had a couple of tablespoons of Nutella but since the American Nutella tastes and smells like shortening we have to live without. I should have had you pick me up a couple of jars while you were in Europe.
Thanks for sharing.
