Years ago when we were still on the farm, Lane came to me during school one morning to show me a recipe that was on his math page, of all places!
Well, of course math went out the window and we had to stop and make the recipe!
It is a great memory and this recipe has stuck around since that day.
These no bake cookies are that good!
To give credit for this recipe, I will say I am positive it was an ABeka math book, but I do not remember what grade Lane was in.
Of course we revised the recipe anyway, to fit our dietary needs!
This is the dairy-free milk and “butter” we use.
I buy our gluten-free oats off of Amazon prime, and this is the brand we use.
These cookies are a great summer treat, because you do not have to turn on the oven!
Let’s get to it so you can go and make them!
No Bake Cookies
1 1/2 cup sugar (we use coconut sugar and only 1 cup)
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup margarine or butter
3 cups quick cooking oats
1/4 cup peanut butter
Melt the first four ingredients in a sauce pan on the stove, stirring often. Let it come to a boil, and boil for one minute. Turn off the heat and add the last two ingredients. Stir the oats and peanut butter in thoroughly.
Drop by spoonfuls on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Place the tray into the freezer to set, and then move the cookies to an air tight container in the fridge.
*we use the small cookie scoop to drop these cookies, and it is fast and efficient!
Enjoy!!
I took this photo of the new garden bed and trellis we added this year on a different, beautiful, blue, sunny day.
We have been continuing on with Math and they are all doing great!
After Math and a bit of handwriting and language, we have been working through a curriculum called Bible Study for All Ages.
We also have been enjoying Adventures in Odyssey, a radio show.
Our school mascots are furry and cute and always under our feet!
When Chad is home he works on his own school.
Blake goes over the children’s school work with them about once a month.
I am sure if and when the weather finally catches up with the date on the calendar we will not be able to stay inside for even a minute!
The truth is, we NEED date night!
We planned our route carefully as the stores in our area are not open to their full hours yet, but we did make time to see if Starbucks was open again…and it WAS.
We ended our time in town getting grocery, but it was FUN to do it together!
