Bakeless Cookies

By -
Carey asked me to post mom's recipe for bakeless cookies or better known as chocolate globs. If you leave out the cocoa and add peanuts, you get her other version of the cookies. Mom used oleo, but I use butter.

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups oatmeal

Mix sugar, butter, milk, and cocoa in saucepan. Boil for about one minute.

Off the heat, mix in peanut butter, vanilla, and oatmeal. Drop by rounded teaspoon onto waxed paper. Let harden.

Enjoy!!

Boy, do those bring back memories, Kristin. Mother had a knack with these cookies as she did with so many things that she made. Her chocolate "blobs", like her cinnamon and bread rolls, and her navy bean soup were the best I've ever tasted. Thanks for the posting.

Gina I remember all those things too. She made rolls in round pan and she would take a stick of butter and coat the top. Sometimes, not often, if you can home from school at the right time you could have one before dinner. Soft, warm...

Boy, you were lucky to get one of those rolls while still warm. That night with vegetable soup, those rolls were wonderful.
I recently found a recipe for cinnamon rolls that might be like mom's. I haven't tried them yet, but if they resemble hers, I will post again.
Before she finished the navy bean soup, she would take out two small cups for us. We would put salt, pepper and butter on them. YUM!!

Kris, I may be the only person on earth that doesn't like peanut butter OR oatmeal. I have tasted these but I alway left plenty for the Sybs. I do remember how good the fresh baked rolls and the vegetable soup were.

Family Contacts

 Carey called me and asked if I could find the listing of contacts for our family that he created years ago.  I did have a file copy and Carey and I updated it.  I have attached this here in Word and Pages that can be edited for new entries and updates.  There is also a PDF copy.  I added sections for Aunts & Uncles and Cousins.  These sections are missing people and dates, but perhaps I can work with Kristin to fill in some of this.

 When watching the evening news today, I saw an image of coal barges lined up at the docks at the USS Mon Valley Steel Plant.  Of course the news segment was about the White House blocking the sale of USS to Nippon Steel.  My mind wandered to to dad's career at the Robena Prep Plant.  I didn't think that it was still in operation but I searched for more information.  I found that the Robena deep mines closed in 1983, but plant continued to operate until 2017 processing coal from surface mining for Consol Mining.  It seems that reclamation of the site began many years before 2017, most likely mandated by local concerns about environmental damage from seepage from the three large slurry ponds and other surface contamination.  Dad took me out one Sunday afternoon to inspect the dikes and berms around the ponds.  We had to hop into one of the big company trucks to traverse the dirt roads around the site. I read a couple of articles about the ongoing l...
