No-Bake Cookies made into Shapes

I am pretty sure this is not an original idea, but I needed to make a treat and thought why not make no-bakes in a cookie cutter mold??
Well it worked out better than I expected!  The only thing you need to worry about is working fast.  By the time I got to my last group, the cookies were starting to set up!
A fun way to make cookies into shape and an easy way when you need something quick!  Here is the recipe I used, which is actually already posted on the blog.  It is a good recipe if you haven't tried it!

No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies


Jamie Cooks it up!

4 cups sugar

6 tbsp cocoa

1 cup butter

1 cup milk

1 tsp salt

2 tsp vanilla

1 cup crunchy peanut butter (I only had creamy and used that)

6 cups quick oats (add 7 cups if using regular oats) ~ substituted 1 1/2 cups 6 grain mix for 1 1/2 cups of the oats.  Good extra way to get more grains!

Put the sugar, cocoa, butter, milk, and salt in a large saucepan. Over medium high heat, bring it to a boil, stirring occasionally. When it comes to a boil, start stirring constantly for 3 minutes.

Remove from heat and add your vanilla, peanut butter and oats. Stir in around until it is all incorporated. (I added the vanilla and peanut butter and then stirred until the peanut butter was melted. Then I poured this on top of the oats in a bigger bowl and stirred it all together.) It might be a little thin at first, but it will set up!

Drop by large spoonfuls into your cookie cutter onto wax paper. When you have the desired amount in your cutter, carefully remove the cutter and you shoud have your shape!  Work kind of fast so the cookie mix doesn't set up too fast in your bowl.  If you don't have wax paper, just spray cooking spray on cooking sheets and that will work too! Let the cookies cool and set up for about 20 minutes, then you are ready to eat!!
