Skinny No-Bake Cookies

Gina's Weight Watcher Recipes
Last year was the first time I heard of no-bake cookies. Someone had sent me their recipe and asked me to lighten them up. This year, once again someone asked me to lighten these up, so after a few attempts to get them just right, we finally had success!
To lighten these up I used Better'n Peanut Butter which you can find at Target, health food stores, Amazon, or even Trader Joe's. Some supermarket's even carry them. Yes, you could use light peanut butter instead, but the fat content is higher and honestly, I liked them better with the Better 'n Peanut Butter!
You can roll them in powdered sugar or cocoa just before serving, or leave them as is.
Keep them refrigerated if you don't plan on eating them right away.
Makes 40 cookies.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 tbsp Smart Balance Light butter
1/2 cup fat free milk
2 1/2 cups quick oats (for gluten free, use gluten free oats)
3/4 cup Better'n Peanut Butter
1 tsp vanilla
powdered sugar, cocoa powder (optional)
Directions:
Combine the first 4 ingredients (sugar through milk) and
boil in a small sauce pan for 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and mix in oatmeal, Better n' Peanut Butter and vanilla.
Drop by tablespoons onto a wax paper or roll into balls
with slightly moist hands and refrigerate overnight.
The next day you can roll them in powdered sugar or cocoa powder if desired.
Keep refrigerated if storing for several days.
