Tasty Thursday: No Bake Cookies = Cookie in a Cup = Heaven

Happy Tasty Thursday!! So today my post will be a delicious recipe (because it's Tasty Thursday) and a tip on how to make a smaller version for individual portions.

NO BAKE COOKIES (or as my family calls them...Buffalo Chip Cookies):

1 stick butter

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup milk

2/3 cup cocoa

2 cups oats

Heat butter in a saucepan while adding sugar. Stir in milk and bring to a boil. Add in cocoa and stir until cocoa has dissolved. Take off heat and add in oats. You can also add a few chocolate chips for extra chocolatey flavor. Drop spoonfuls onto wax paper and let cool.

COOKIE-IN-A-CUP:

Same recipe as above! This is the perfect variation if you just want a small treat, rather than the temptation of a tray of cookies.

1/2 stick butter

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup milk

1/2 cup cocoa

1 cup oats

Mix the same way as above - spoon into a mug and add a few chocolate chips to  the top. Makes two mugs full.
