Preacher Cookies

You could say I was inspired by your responses to my GIVEAWAY. Or that I just wanted to do something nice for S, who commented yesterday that I "rocked his world" - oh yes it's true. I do rock his world.

Either way I went home Friday and made Preacher cookies. It's one of the easiest cookies ever made but they are delicious.

Here's what you need:

1/2 cup butter
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 cups quick cooking oats
1/2 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.


Add the cocoa powder, sugar and milk to the melted butter. Bring to a boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat.


Add vanilla, salt and peanut butter. Stir until the peanut butter is combined. Then add the oats.


If you eat a big spoonful I will not judge you. I promise. Just let it cool a little bit first.

Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper. I like to spread mine a little to make them look more like an actual cookie but it's your choice.

Allow them to cool and then try to only eat one. It's impossible.


And look how pretty PW's rum cake turned out. Trust me when I say it tasted as good as it looks. This is HIGHLY recommended for any holiday party.


I also recommend that you enter my GIVEAWAY if you haven't already. Today is the last day...the winner will be announced tomorrow!
