Make Some Cookies in a Jiffy!

"A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand."  ~Author Unknown

My Gram worked in the school cafeteria when we were kids and one of my favorite things she would bring home were Jiffy Cookies. Sweet and crunchy, they were the epitome of love to me. I envisioned them as a complicated concoction but when I finally did get the recipe I couldn't believe how easy they were to make. They don't even require baking which makes them the perfect summer dessert.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups sugar
• 3 tbsp cocoa
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 1/2 cups oatmeal
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1 tsp vanilla

Directions:

• Boil first 4 ingredients for one minute.
• Pour oatmeal, peanut butter and vanilla into mixture and stir well.
• Drop on wax paper and cool completely.
• Hide a few for yourself in the back of the refrigerator.

Enjoy!
