No Bake Cookies – With a Sugar Free Option

I made these cookies 3 times in the last 2 weeks.  They are super easy and my husband is a cookie monster.  To bad they do nothing to him, but I am the one that has to suffer, and have self control so I don’t gain 15 lbs just looking at them!  Actually the reason I made them 3 times was more for a test for all my readers!  I wanted to try making them with regular sugar, agave, and honey.

Here is the recipe…

2 C sugar {if sugar free use 1 1/4 – 1 1/2 C Agave or Honey
1/2 C butter
3 T Cocoa
1/2 cup milk
1/2 C Peanut butter {Natural}
1 tsp vanilla
3 C oats

In a saucepan melt together sugar, cocoa, butter and milk.  Once mixed add peanut butter.  Get to a boil.  Take off stove, add vanilla and oats.  Mix and drop teaspoon full on wax paper.

*With Agave and Honey they were more sticky and don’t set up as fast as the sugar ones, so I put those in the freezer.  They actually taste good really cold.  Eventually {about 20 mins in freezer) they do set up, but just not as fast as the sugar one.
