As a kid my dad would make these easy "cookies" with us. Instead of dropping the "batter" into individual portions we would spread it out in one big patty and eat off it family style. When I made this last night that's what my husband and I did too. My mom's recipe was called NO BAKE COOKIES but I've made a few modifications to make it allergy free. I love that it only takes a few measuring tools, a saucepan, and a spatula so clean up is super easy!
No Bake Oatmeal Drops
3 Tbsp. spectrum all vegetable shortening
1/2 c. corn syrup
1/2 c. peanut butter
1/4 c. cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla.
pinch of salt
2 c. gluten free oatmeal
In a saucepan over medium low heat, bring shortening and corn syrup to a boil. Stir with a spatula frequently. Add in peanut butter.
Remove from heat. Stir in cocoa powder. Fold in remaining ingredient.
Drop by spoonfuls on to wax paper. Cool.
(Or as I said above, just spread the entire batch onto wax paper and flatten with the spatula. In my family we never let it cool all the way before we dip our fingers in for a tasty bite!)
