Don’t let the idea of toasting pecans scare you away from this recipe. Simply scatter pecans on a baking sheet and place in a 300F oven for 5 – 7 minutes, stirring once. Be careful not to leave them in too long, as they will be be cooked further in the recipe. In this case, it is better to err on the underdone side.

No Bake Chocolate – Peanut Butter – Oatmeal Cookies

by

Heather says:

These are the black sheep of the cookie family, not a whole lot of class, but we love them anyhow. Don’t let the no-bake name fool you, these are less kid friendly than most baked cookies as the hot butter and sugar mixture could cause serious burns. If you have a little one helping in the kitchen, they can make sure the chocolate chips are still good (taste test, it’s a critical part of the cooking process) and stir them into the oatmeal.
