No Bake Cookies

Cookies and I don't gel. I've tried every trick in the book but I just can't seem to find that happy medium between rock hard and so underdone that they are falling apart. Don't you feel bad for my kids? While they love their fair share of cookies...they are usually from a package with elves on them. Recently I gave this no bake cookie a try though, and was really surprised that I didn't mess it up. Seriously I don't think there is anyway to get it wrong. It's easy peasy.

No Bake Cookies
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter - 1 stick
1/2 cup milk
3 cups quick oats
5 Tablespoons cocoa
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup coconut (optional)



Boil sugar, butter and milk for exactly 3 minutes.



Stir in oats, cocoa, vanilla, peanut butter and coconut if you are using it.



Drop yummy looking goo onto wax paper.



Enjoy!
