Cookie of the Week

I totally dropped the ball on the cookie of the week…. especially since I started training for my half marathon.   I really could not have all that delciousness in my kitchen,  bad news.   But the M’s started asking about cookies and why I hadn’t made any for a long time.  So, for them .. cookie of the week is back.   Instead of Tuesdays.. we switched it to Thursdays.      So.. each week, I’ll share with you what we’re having.      Here we go!

My mother in law actually made these for my husband & sister in law ..these are def one of their favorites. So..I”ll give her all the credit

BULLCHIPS!

2 cups of sugar

5 tbls of unsweetened cocoa

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup chunky peanut butter

1 tsp vanilla

3 cups quick cooking oats

1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

1 cup coconut (optional)

I omitted the nuts and added the coconut.. mm mm delicious.

Cover a baking sheet with wax paper.

Combine sugar with cocoa in a large saucepan. Stir in milk, butter & peanut butter. Cook, stirring continuously, over medium heat until butter melts and mixture is combined, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla Add oats and nuts; mix thoroughly.

Once mixture has cooled slightly, drop by large spoonfuls 2 inches apart onto baking sheet.

Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.

Because I am always in such a hurry… I suggest really letting mixture cool in saucepan.  I always drop the cookies too early and they don’t firmly set.     They are still delicious.. very gooey.

I hope you make them and enjoy them.. let me know if you do.
