I don't know what it's like where you live, but here in south Texas, it's HOT! You wake up to 85 degrees and it only gets hotter as the day goes by. Not the time to be baking cookies in the oven. So, here's a no-bake cookie recipe.
NO BAKE CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
2 cups sugar
1/2 stick butter (1/4 cup)
1/2 cup milk
3 tablespoons cocoa
3 heaping tablespoons peanut butter
2 cups oatmeal
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
In a heavy saucepan, mix sugar, cocoa, butter and milk. Heat to a boil, then cook for 1 minute. Remove from stove. Add peanut butter, oatmeal and vanilla. Stir well. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Let cool and enjoy.

OMG! We used to make these in Home Ec when I was a kid. I'd forgotten all about them. I used to love them back then. I'll have to make a batch and see if still do. LOL
Let us know, CJ if they are as good as you remember!
Anna--I've made about a milllion of these cookies. I always tripled the recipe--when the kids were still home. I'd forgotten about them--excuse me, gotta go see if I have cocoa and oatmeal. Yummm!Thanks for reminding me. Celia
Does the kitchen smell as yummy, though?

Okay, I remembered something when I was making these cookies today. My home-ec teacher always made us toast the oatmeal in the oven on a cookie sheet for about ten minutes. It make the oatmeal crisp and surpirsingly it stays fairly crisp in the cookies.
And, yes, they were as good as when I was a kid. Hubby even likes them.
Thanks for the tip, CJ. And, Joann, I'll stop by and check out the chicken recipe.
