These are very kid-friendly cookies - Cocoa, marshmallows, peanut butter, raisins, nuts and oatmeal make a tasty chewy cookie, and best of all - NO BAKING IS INVOLVED! Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder |
1 dash salt |
1/2 cup evaporated milk |
1 cup white sugar |
3/4 cup brown sugar |
1/2 cup mini marshmallows |
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract |
1 cup creamy peanut butter |
3 cups quick oatmeal |
3/4 cup dark raisin, chopped |
1/2 cup honey roasted peanuts, chopped |
powdered sugar |
Directions:
1. Cream together the butter, cocoa, salt, milk, sugars; add the marshmallows and blend.
2. Transfer marshmallow mixture to a large saucepan; bring to a rolling boil, very slowly, stirring occasionally. Allow to boil for 1 - 1 1/2 minutes, stirring constantly. (DO NOT OVER BOIL OR THE COOKIES WILL BE DRY AND CRUMBLY.) Remove from heat.
3. Add ONE-AT-A-TIME the vanilla, peanut butter, oatmeal, raisins, and peanuts to the marshmallow mixture; give a good stir after each ingredient is added.
4. Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper. Once the cookie mixture is cool enough to handle, roll into balls about 1-inch in diameter. Dip cookie balls into the powdered sugar and set on the waxed paper until firm (about 45 minutes to an hour).
5. Store in an air-tight container - IF THEY LAST THAT LONG!
