Modern Old Souls

Ever wonder what the world would be like without the existence of our grandmas? That weekly casserole recipe, 'gone in a day' bread, or tips on when to eat rhubarb would be lost in the past. Well, we have, and that is why we are doing our best to save the best and famous family recipes, tips, and tricks that have been passed down from generation to generation or have been a hit in our family. Along with that, a few of our own modern ideas made their way on here as well.

Easy Do Cookies

In our family, this recipe is known as black cookies, which sounds more unappealing than they truly are. Quick and scrumptious!

RECIPE

1 1/2 cups sugar
6 tbsp. cocoa
1/2 cup milk
3 tbsp. butter
3/4 cup chunky peanut butter
3 cups quick oatmeal

DIRECTIONS

Mix together all ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and add the 3/4 cup chunky peanut butter. Stir until melted and add the oatmeal. Stir well- can add more nuts if desired. Drop by teaspoon on wax paper or put in butter pan. Cool and enjoy!
