No bake cookies

One of my very favorite cookies to much on are the ones you can make all summer long with out heating up your oven! This is one of the EASIEST recipes to convert to GF,  DF, EF

"It goes like-a this" ( little mermaid?? you know you heard Sebastian say it in your head):

Ingredients

3	cups quick cooking rolled oats- GF
⅔	cup peanut butter
½	cup chopped peanuts (optional)
2	cups sugar
½	cup (1 stick) DF butter
½	cup Almond
⅓	cup Hershey's cocoa
2	tsp. GF vanilla extract      Directions

Line cookie sheet with wax paper or parchment.

Measure oats, peanut butter, and peanuts; set aside.

Combine sugar, butter, milk, and cocoa in medium sauce pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a rolling boil. ( if you are using reg. GF oats, this is when you add them and turn WAY down the heat for a bit)

Remove from heat. Add oats, peanut butter, peanuts, and vanilla stir quickly, mixing well.

Immediately drop mixture by heaping tsp. onto paper. Cool. Store in cool dry place.

I never add peanut Butter, I prefer almond butter...and I leave out the chopped up peanuts too. The other thing you need to remember is that GF quick oats can be hard to find, so I use Regular GF oats, but they need to cook in the sauce a bit to soften up, or else it gets mighty crunchy...and not in a good way.

Good luck! Happy cooking!
