Mom’s Recipe – Carolina Delites (No-Bake Cookies)

*One of Mary Myrick’s best recipes*

Ingredients:

  • 1 stick butter or margarine
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 Tbs. cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 3 cups quick-cooking oatmeal (not instant)

Combine the butter, sugar, cocoa powder and milk in a 2 qt. saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat while stirring. Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla, mixing well. Stir in the oatmeal, mixing well. Drop by spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet covered with a sheet of waxed paper (or plastic wrap). Place in refrigerator to cool.

Once they are cool and firm, they can be stacked in layers with waxed paper or wrap in between (if they last that long).

Welcome to my online home since 2004. I blog a bit about my life as it happens, my work as I am permitted, and occasional throwback entries. When I'm not writing new posts, I actively curate this blog, improving the wording or adding new media to old posts, and finally finishing old drafts I've left sitting for years. It is not my intention to be a source of news or content. I don’t have anything to sell, and I’m not trying to get likes/shares/follows. This site is an autobiographical effort - imperfections and all. My life, remembered in my words, my way.

When known, I include credit for photos in the captions. Contact me for photo credit or removal. *Side note: If you make one of my Mother's recipes, I'd be happy to post a photo of the finished product in the corresponding post, and give you full photo credit.

If you have comments or questions, feel free to visit the Contact page and fill out the form. I'll be happy to respond. Thanks for stopping by!
