Make a No Bake Chocolate Cookie

As promised last week, this week I have another chocolate cookie, but this one doesn’t need to be baked. And all from regular pantry ingredients.

It’s made all in one sauce pan again, and then dropped onto parchment paper, wax paper or a silicone sheet and chilled to harden. They will keep in an airtight container for about a week.

This one has a few more healthy ingredients – oatmeal, peanut butter and coconut, as well as some raisins and nuts if you want. Quick or regular oatmeal will both work. Peanut butter can be smooth or chunky.
