It's hot outside, and you just want a quick cookie, without heating up the oven. You also don't want to make several dozen, you just want a couple to satisfy the urge. Here's just the thing! A no bake chocolate oatmeal cookie. It only makes a quick 9 cookies, and if you're watching your sugar, you can substitute the sugar with a sugar substitute, (but sugar taste much better in these cookies). Let me show how I make them.
You will need:
1/3 cup sugar, (or sugar substitute)
1 large pinch of salt
2 teas. unsweetened cocoa
2 Tabs fat free or low fat milk
1/4 teas vanilla extract
2 Tabs peanut butter, (smooth or crunch)
1/2 cup quick cooking oats
1/4 cup Craisins, (optional)
parchment paper
In a medium microwave safe bowl combine the sugar, cocoa, salt, and milk. Mix together well.
Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir once. Continue microwaving for another 30 to 45 seconds until the mixture is boiling.
Add in the peanut butter and vanilla extract. Stir until blended well.
Add in the oatmeal and Craisins, (or you can use raisins). Stir well to incorporate into the chocolate mixture.
Drop unto parchment paper, using a tablespoon. Place in the freezer for 15 or 20 minutes until the chocolate sets up.
And you now have a quick, easy, cookie without heating up the kitchen.
It's just enough to satisfy the urge. Nice and chocolate flavor, with the oats and sweetened cranberries.
Enjoy !
