I randomly felt like sharing this recipe, hoping someone tries them and likes them. I know there are about a thousand different recipes, but this is my favorite--it was my great grandmother's, it came out of my big Trudell family cookbook, spanning 4 generations of Midwest Lutheran cooks, and it's easy. So, here goes:
First, read through and measure everything out (oats and peanut butter especially) and lay out some wax paper for the finished cookies.
2 cups white sugar
1/4 cup cocoa (sift, if you can)
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
Bring to boil--but don't let boil for long. A minute, tops. Remove from heat, add:
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup peanut butter
3-3 1/2 cups oats (depends on the kind of oats you have, some are more absorbent than others)
spoon (about 1-inch balls) onto wax paper, sprinkle with powder sugar, let cool till hard, and eat! Takes about a half hour tops, and if you don't eat much batter, you can make about 60-70. When you are mixing in the oats, don't pour them all in at once, but pour a little and mix it in, and a little more and mix it in--much easier that way.
enjoy!

sheesh, I know that's vague, but I really don't know how to describe them... they are not like other cookies, but more like... chocolate-peanut butter oatmeal balls.
they are little balls--in whatever shape you left them in. They don't get "hard" like some gingersnaps do... I don't really know how to describe it. They'll crumble if you put them in a box and shake them, but they shouldn't fall apart all on their own.

To me, they're kind of like a soft fudgey-type cookie.

This is the treat of choice that feeds and satisfies my PMS monster...
I LOVE these cookies. Sometimes I'll make 'em up and I eat 'em right out of the pot I cooked 'em in. How bad is that?
Rock on with your bad self.

I am a Yankee from PA and nobody down here knows a thing about no-bakes! I also absolutely love biscotti (Italian cookies-made with ricotta cheese inside) and anyone who knows what I'm talking about and has a recipe, I would be much obliged!!
