Quickie Cookies a La Stovetop ...p100

Anxious to satisfy some sweet tooths in the family (ok, teeth just does not sound right here!  but would it be?), I whipped up this cookie recipe that promised "quick."  It satisfied that title, but met with mixed reaction - Nana snickered.....but the rest ate them up promptly with a satisfied grin.  We also agreed that they were even better the next day - aging here is quite appropriate.

We used creamy peanut butter, but probably would have liked crunchy better as the recipe indicated.

Hardy Appetit!


QUICKIE COOKIES A LA STOVETOP

1 c sugar
2 T cocoa
1/4 c butter
1/4 c milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 c or 4 T peanut butter (we like crunchy)
1 1/2 c oatmeal, uncooked
1/2 c wheat germ 

Combine sugar, cocoa, butter and milk in saucepan and boil over med. heat for one min.  (Young chefs, do not leave the kitchen at this point).
Stirring constantly, fold in remaining ingredients (have them ready).  Drop with a tsp onto wax paper and let harden.  Work quickly because the hardening doesn't take long.  Store in an airtight container because they will dry out quickly.
