This was a project for Christmas 2011. I wanted to start a collection of favorite recipes and print them for my kids, now that they are grown. As I typed the recipes, I added them here, so they would be easily accessible in the future for additions and modifications.

Mima's No Bake Cookies

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 stick unsalted butter
pinch salt
3 cups quick cooking oats
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
(optional: 1/2 cup coconut)


Heat cocoa, sugar, salt, milk and butter over medium heat. Boil slowly (they will turn out better). When they reach a rolling boil, stir and boil them for no longer than 1 1/2 - 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add oats, peanut butter and vanilla and stir well. Let cool for a few minutes. Drop spoonfuls on wax paper.

Let cool thoroughly.
