No Bake Peanut Butter, Chocolate, Oatmeal Cookies

 
 As a child this was always a favorite of mine. Now fully grown and on my own, I try to keep the tradition alive when I can. They were my favorite cookies as a kid, I can't let em fade away as an adult! Ive listed the recipe below as a way to share with my fave readers. Enjoy!

Ingredients: 

2 Cups Sugar
1/2 Cup Almond Milk
1/2 Cup Margarine or 1 Stick Margarine
1/4 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
3 1/2 Cup Old Fashioned Oats, or Instant Oats (as i did below)
1 Cup Smooth Peanut Butter
1 Tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract
Large Pinch of Salt
1 Medium Pinch Cinnamon(optional)

Directions:

Bring the sugar, butter, and cocoa powder to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, then let boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add oats, peanut butter, vanilla, and salt immediately. Drop teaspoonfuls of the mixture onto parchment paper and let sit at room temperature until cooled and hardened.(Roughly 30 minutes) Place in refrigerator for faster set and also for storage. Will last up to 3 days.

For a fun twist, add a pinch of cinnamon when adding oats, peanut butter, vanilla, and salt.
