Post Date: 12/20/08 7:47 pm
Heather my no bake cookies are so easy as pie to make its
2 cups sugar
1/2 c butter
3 tbsp coca powder
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 c peanut butter
3 c old fashioned oats
you'll also need a bottle of black food coloring I got it at walmart

mix butter,sugar, coca and vanilla... bring to boil. Boil for ONLY one minute take off heat after a minute then add peanut butter mix until chocolate blend is creamy then add your oats one cup at a time. Once mixed add a genourous amount of black food coloring just play with it until its real black. it'll make about 18-24 cookies so double as needed. I'm really artsy so I made a card to go with and it read:
I heard you've been naughty not very nice and santa even checked his list twice so all the way for the cold north pole all you get for christmas is the tub of cookie coal!! Your lucky I like you b/c I love my idea and I may try and sell it at some bazzars at local churches. Be careful to stay away from the cookies b/c yes they are black but they are wonderful!!

let me know how it turns out

Thanks Stacy!! I'm gonna make them tomorrow!! The only ingrediant I need is cocoa powder...can I use chocolate chips instead?? Or does it have to be the powder??

Hmmm I've never done it that way I'd stick with the coca powder

How about a picture of these cookies?

I'm gonna have to make those. If the intense white stuff outside melts down in time... :-) I have to make it to the store somehow to get the ingredients. I did buy some sugar (shudder) yesterday for the rest of my Christmas baking. The cookies sound fun to give.
