Sunny-Honey No-Bake Cookies (Peanut-free)

In a 4-quart pot, or larger, melt the butter, honey, milk, and cocoa powder over low/medium heat. When butter has melted completely, raise heat to medium. Stirring occasionally, bring to a boil then allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute.

Remove from heat, add vanilla and Sunbutter. Stir well to incorporate until Sunbutter is dissolved. Add the oats and stir until fully coated.

Drop spoonfuls of the dough that are approximately 2 tablespoon-sized onto a sheet of wax paper. Cool completely. If cookies are still tacky when fully cooled, put them in the freezer to set up.

The use of honey does make these cookies a bit gooey. In warmer temperatures it is recommended to keep them stored in the refrigerator or even in the freezer (they will not freeze solid) until ready to serve.
