You arouse my gastronomic juices, Madame.

CHOCOLATE NO-BAKE COOKIES
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
2 cups sugar
6 Tbsp cocoa
1 cup peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups oats
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup raisins
Directions: In a large sauce pan, melt butter into milk over low heat. Stir in sugar and cocoa* and bring to a boil for one minute. Remove from heat, then add peanut butter to hot chocolate-y mixture until blended smoothly. Stir in vanilla. Add oatmeal, coconut, and raisins. Coat dry ingredients thoroughly. While mixture is still hot, drop rounded tablespoons-full onto wax paper to cool.
*It helps to dry-sift sugar and cocoa together first, but is not necessary.
Serving Notes: Makes 25 servings at 200 calories each. Can be refrigerated in air-tight container for up to two weeks.
Preparation Notes: For moister cookies, use extra peanut butter and/or reduce oats. For dairy-free cookies, substitute soy milk and dairy free margarine.
Note for the Whaaa…? and Isn’t this supposed to be a sex blog? folks:
It looks like shit, butt tastes heavenly?
Ha! 😛
NO. And yes. 🙂
In real life, they look (and smell and taste) like delicious little mounds of chocolate. Perhaps, like me, they just don’t photograph well. 😉
I would respectfully disagree with the statement that you don’t photograph well,,you photograph VERY well
Well, I often look – in photographs – like a mule who’s been surprised with its teeth in disarray. You only see a carefully culled collection of snapshots. 😉
BUT
My poor, maligned cookies. 🙁
Good thing beauty is not a requirement in my foodstuffs. 😉
Pictures, shmictures, they sound YUMMY and I have duly pilfered the recipe.
*emphatic nod*
Somehow I knew you’d be in my corner, Jz. 🙂
You can glass-pan them (it is *so* a verb!) and cut them like fudge after they set if you prefer.
And I may experiment with this recipe a bit (pretzels & peanuts… or cashews & cranberries, maybe?) for Cookies of Christmas Future. 🙂
sounds good. i’m sure they taste fab. only i’m not a coconut fan. maybe i’ll experiment. thank you for this!
My guess is, they’d be perfectly yummy without the coconut as well. 🙂
Je voudrais un ballotin de 10000 grammes, avec seulement du chocolat noir, s’il vous plaît .
Only 10,000? 😉
