No Bake Chocolate Fudge Cookies

 Today was my first day of class at my new work from home job. So to celebrate, we decided to make some No Bake Chocolate Fudge Cookies!

This No Bake Chocolate Fudge Cookie recipe is the most requested recipe that my kids ask me to make. Most of the time, the cookies turn out perfect.  Not too hard or too crumbly. Not so soft that they don't become firm. 

I have learned that the kind of day you make these cookies on has a lot to do with the end result.  If the humidity is high, the cookies will not set  up properly.  Believe me, I’ve tried.  However, if you decide to make them on a humid day and they don't harden, don't despair or throw them out. They are still good to eat.  Just grab a spoon and dig in!!!

Ingredients 

1 c. butter 
4 c. sugar
1 c. milk
1 c. cocoa
1/4 teaspoon salt 
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 c. peanut butter
6 c. oatmeal 

Directions

Line your counter or cookie sheets with waxed paper. You will need this done before you start to cook, because the mixture hardens rather quick.  
 

In a large sauce pan, combine butter, sugar, milk, cocoa, and salt.
 

Cook and stir over medium heat until the mixture come to a full rolling boil. Stirring constantly, boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat.Add vanilla and peanut butter. Mix until peanut butter is well blended.  

Stir in the oatmeal. Working quickly at this stage, drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto waxed paper. The cookies will start hardening pretty quickly at this point. Set them someplace cool so they will set up sooner. Enjoy.
