show youand cook with you a special no bakedcookie recipe I love this recipe I didnot make it up it is from The Frugalfire Moi’s and I will post the recipefor you in this video so you can seewhat you need but the main ingredientsthat you need are peanut butter any kindhoney ours happens to be local honeythat we like to use a stick of butterany kind of butter some cocoa powder soI have mine in just this little jarsome vanilla extract and some oatmealand it’s really important to know thatit is quick oats and they work better somake sure you have all of youringredients together and then let’s getcooking[Music]okay now that we have all of ouringredients assembled what I’m gonna dois I like to have all of the ingredientsmeasured out ahead of time so all I haveto do when I’m cooking is really justkind of dumped stuff um and I don’talways go in the order of the recipewhen I am assembling those ingredientsbecause I want to do what is least messytwo messiest so I can kind of reuse somethings so um the first thing I’m gonnado because it’s probably the leastmessiest of all is the oatmeal and theoatmeal calls for two and 1/4 cupoatmeal so I have a cup and I havealright so 2 and 1/4 cups of oatmeal andthat is done so I can set that aside thenext thing I want to do because it’salso super simple its I need a stick ofbutter and I need a little stick abetter so I have my saucepan readybecause we’re gonna do a saucepanbecause we’re gonna cook a little bitit’s no big so I’m gonna need my stovetop in a minute by the way I did wash myhands really really good before I didthis just forgot to video it so pleasewash your hands before you touch any ofthe food alright so I my butter in therethe next thing I’m gonna put in mysaucepan and my cocoa needs 6tablespoons 6 tablespoons I have mytablespoon I know that’s wrapping off Ineed some new ones 6 tablespoons ofcocoa so I’m gonna count one twofive and sixI’m another thing that I can putstraight into my pan which right now isjust better Coco is my vanilla and Ineed two teaspoons so I have a there’s alittle cocoa in there my tea spoon alittle measuring spoon I need two ofthose I’m gonna put them directly intothis pot as well so there’s one and twoand vanilla is dead new so I have mybutter vanilla and cocoa in my pan myoatmeal is sitting to the side so all Ihave left are the two messy things andthey’re pretty messy so I have my honeyand my you know so let’s start scoopingand this is kind of where it getsdifficult my honey I like to do in aglass measuring cup and start pouring itin and I need says 1/2 to 3/4 cup so Ijust kind of aim for 1/2 and itcontinues to dribble a little bit so Ipour this in here[Music]they know that we’re having duties it’sonly at 1/4 honey likes to take its timehold this go guess I can’tparticular and I need for my becausethat’s okay so you can see it is rightin there honey ready peanut butter Ineed oneand we’re gonna scoop one cup now Idon’t always get it all squished inthere so if I miss some parts but comeout at the top I call that a win there’smy one cup of peanut butter right soeverything’s all measured out if Iwanted to take a moment I type a personthat likes to clean up the kitchen as Igo and just so I don’t have a big messafterward so if you’ve learned this iswhere you can kind of pause it put allof the ingredients away and then take itto the stove so I’m gonna pause it herealthough it won’t be a pause for you andI’m gonna take everything over to thestove and we’ll go from there okay so weare switching camera angles and I nowhave my pots on the stove and in the potagain remember we have the vanilla thecocoa and the butter and I’m gonna go upit’s so you medium right now it’s onkind of a medium number and we’re gonnalet that butter melt we do not wantanything to boil and if you use therecipe with sugar you actually do wantit to boil but this recipe you do notand next we’re gonna add the peanutbutter and the honey and honestly I’mgonna need two hands for this so you’renot gonna get to watch this and when Icome back both of these will be in therealright so it is all in there andhonestly my phone is hanging by a hangerso I’m a little nervous about this butwe are on the stove and so now we havethe honey the butter the peanut butterthe vanilla and the cocoa all mixedtogether or it’s in the process of beingmixed together so we’re heating that upand once it gets to a nicemove consistency so I’m gonna want tojust keep stirring it until it gets toan ice and letting it melt until it getsto a nice smooth consistency and whenyou did it like scrape the bottom makesure we get all of the stuff that may bestuck on the bottomoops um you can get all of that in ourcookies all rightI took it down cuz it made me nervouswhile I’m waiting for this to all kindof melt together remember we don’t wantthe heat too high because we don’t wantit to boil we just want it to get smoothand we are almost there so when I’m waitwhile I’m waiting for that I’m gonnaturn it down a little we need to getsome pans and I totally forgot to tellyou this part ahead of time you needsome cookie sheets and I use thesethey’re rested I don’t put food directlyon them but they’re perfect for thingslike this so you get some hands and getsome wax paper so that’s exactly whatit’s called wax paper and you put it onthere you do not want to put the cookiesdirectly onto the pans even if your pansare nice pans and because they just theycome off easier it’s easier to get thecookies off of this than to get them offof the metal pan all right so we’regonna go back over here and it lookslike the butter is almost melted oncethe butter gets totally melted we aregoing to add in the oatmeal and thenit’ll be time to drop the cookies okayso it is all nice and smooth here we gofirst thing make sure you turn off yourevidence so we go through and make surethey’re all turned off and I’ll takethis and put it on my counter I do needto make sure I have a hot pad on therebecause it will hurt the counter startit again this is where things get trickyso no chance and sorryoatmeal in there it’s nice to have italready measured out and we’re going tostir that until it gets to a niceconsistency like it all is coveredalmost there all right so now we areready to so I usually grab a spoon spoonI could probably use this if I wanted toand I do a spoon fold this is whythey’re called drop cookies you justdrop them on there and that’s it so I’mgonna go through I’m gonna draw up allof the drop cookies on my cookie sheetsand we will come back and see how theylook okay now that I have my no-bakecookies mixed I have dropped them I’lltell you this when it’s cooled down it’sfun to lick the bowl to just throw thatout thereso the easiest way to make these setsome people do it some people don’tI found it makes the best cookies cuz Iactually store them in the refrigeratorthey set a lot faster which I can eatthem faster and then I just don’t meltas much and so we actually store thesecookies in a refrigerator when we areready to eat them so I’ll show you whatwe do with that so here we gonext set in there and I would say Iwould say that they will be ready inabout an hour and you can check sooner Imean if you are like me and you likethese and you just really need to trythem out then you can kind of test thembut I would say about an hour is whatyou need in the meantime while you waithelp your parents out I’ve alreadythrown some stuff in the sink so it’sbeen an hour and I am ready like I’mchomping at the bit to try one of thesecookies so so here we go because I[Music]usually when I come out there’s still alittle gooey okay and I’m gonna share aweird fun fact I like to eat mychocolate oatmeal cookies with orangejuice I don’t know why mr. Allen thinksit’s disgusting most people think it’sdisgustingmmm take a bottle up mmm so goodenjoy the cookies and we’ll see whatwe’re cooking next week bye
