My Oven Broke Part 2

So the repair guy couldn't come until this afternoon. Which is actually pretty quick, since I called him yesterday afternoon. Daniel was napping, and Jacob and I were just hanging out. Jacob says suddenly "Mommy, can we make happy cookies?" To which I answer "Yes. Absolutely." You may be wondering what a "happy cookie" is... My answer to that is "I have no idea." Jacob was so excited and I was left wondering if I had momentarily gone insane. I just promised to make cookies with my kid, without an oven, having no clue what a happy cookie is. So what do I do... Google No Bake Cookies. I then asked Jacob what a happy cookie is and he said "It has eyes." I asked him if it was okay if these cookies didn't have eyes, and he was okay with that plan. Partway through making these I was reminded of my mom's mud pies... Only I am sure that those were coconut and not oatmeal, so I added a bunch of coconut for fun. And seriously, I am officially naming these "Jacob's Happy Cookies" because they are so tasty, they definitely made me, and the kids, happy.

JACOB'S HAPPY COOKIES

3 tbsp cocoa powder
2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup milk

Bring to a boil really really slow, and boil only 90 seconds.

Meanwhile... Mix together
3 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 tbsp vanilla
Random amount coconut (maybe 1/4 cup)

Pour hot mix into oat mix. Stir and let sit for just a couple minutes. Drop onto wax paper whatever size cookies you want and let sit until firm, or put in freezer for a couple minutes if you want to eat them right away.

Hmmm... these look different (plus they were a little frozen)

Now if Jacob's face doesn't say "yummy!" I don't know what does.

Delicious!
