Gussied Up Preacher Cookies

• vegetable shortening, cocoa powder, salt, coconut sugar, unsweetened almond milk
• 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups cocont sugar
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• rolled oats, salted peanut butter, vanilla extract, sea salt
• 3 cups rolled oats, not instant
• 1/3 cup salted peanut butter, creamy or chunky
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. Over medium heat add ingredients into a medium pot and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
2. Once it reaches a boil, lower heat to medium-low and continue to stir for another 2-3 minutes. Drop a few drops of the mixture into cold water. It is ready if the drops solidify and congeal into solid little balls. Turn off heat.
3. Add rolled oats, PB and vanilla extract into the chocolate mixture. Thoroughly combine.
4. Drop heaping tablespoons of the "dough" onto a wax/parchment paper lined cookie sheet. (I like to use a 3-inch round cookie cutter to help form uniform cookies. They otherwise look like "cow pies.") Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes then transfer to a room temperature space to finish cooling and solidifying. Enjoy!
