Preacher cookies. No-bake oatmeal cookies. Whatever you call them, this is definitely a recipe you can easily pull together if you need a quick dessert.
These cookies call for ingredients you most likely already have on hand. Just boil the butter, milk and sugar for three minutes, then pour over instant oatmeal, cocoa and peanut butter. Spoon the mixture onto wax paper in the form of cookies, let them cool and voila, a delicious treat for your unexpected company. Or for just when you need to satisfy your sweet tooth…
