Gluten Free Peanut Butter (or chocolate) No-Bake Cookies

Sometimes when going gluten free, you feel you need to reinvent the wheel, so to speak.  Sometimes your old favorites just need a bit of tweaking to make them safe for you to eat. Here is an old favorite of ours that we ( and by we, I mean my teenage daughter) makes often. She does so much of our baking, that I may have to relearn when she leaves home.

Gluten Free No Bake Cookies  

1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup evaporated milk ( we have used regular milk in a pinch)
3/4 cup peanut butter  
3  cups GLUTEN FREE oats (we use Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Quick or Rolled Oats)
1 tsp. vanilla
***(if making chocolate no-bake use 1/2 cup peanut butter and 3 TBSP cocoa)*****
Put sugar, butter, milk,(cocoa) in sauce pan and bring to a boil.  Cook for 1 minute.
Remove from heat and stir in other ingredients.  Beat until the mixture looses it shine.  Drop by spoonfuls on wax paper and let cool.  If you are in a hurry, put the in the fridge to cool faster.

ENJOY.

Blessings.
