Pretend Kitchen Play

While Playing "pretend" kitchen, my kids needed "real" baking.

Solution? No-bake cookies!

(my 3yr old and 4 yr old had fun with this!)

CHOCOLATE OAT NO-BAKE KID COOKIES

Measure ingredients and stir after each addition...

2 1/2 c oats
1/2 c sugar
2 T cocoa powder
2 T peanut butter
2 T water
1/2 c butter

roll into balls, and roll balls into powdered sugar

3/4 c powdered sugar (I put this into bowl in 1/4 c increments)

Let set in the fridge for few minutes.

YUM!!!!!

I was inspired by http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/No-Bake-Oatmeal-Cookies/Detail.aspx.

This was a big hit! Fun, EASY, and just a little messy....

This turned out a little sticky (Probably because of the amount of water, next time I'll use less butter) This recipie is authentically no-bake (as oppossed to the many no-bake recipies that involve stove-top boiling etc.). Stickiness meant little fingers got lots of licking!
