Sometimes, even in the illustrious kitchens of Full Moon Cuisine, equipment will wind up failing at a critical moment. What do you do then? Tell your diners to pack it up and head home? HELL NO! With just a working stovetop, you can make some tasty cookies that will please your diners and not require too much effort or even too many ingredients. Here's what you'll need:

- 1/2 stick butter (at room temp)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 3 cups quick cook oatmeal
- Pinch of salt

Note: This recipe will make approximately 2 dozen cookies.

To begin, mix the sugar, cocoa, milk, butter, and salt in a pan. Place this pan over a stove burner set to medium, bring to a roiling boil (stirring often). Once a roiling boil has been achieved, remove from the stove to a cool burner and allow to stand for one minute. After, add in the vanilla, followed by the peanut butter, and finally the oat meal, stirring quite often. Take a baking/cookie sheet covered in parchment/wax paper and drop heaping teaspoons of the dough there and allow to cool completely. The cookies will be quite soft and chewy!

Never let adversity or setbacks keep you from enjoying treats with your family and friends. With a little bit of time and MacGuyver-ing, you too can make easy cookies that everyone will love. To make sure there are enough until the ovens get back to work, the kitchen will be staying open late. Care to place an order?
