As you may know, starting from last month, The English Student has been featuring a new easy recipe every month. The point of this is to encourage you to practice English vocabulary while doing something fun! This month I am making a no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookie. I love anything that's simple, so the recipe definitely appealed to me. You can always find the recipe of the month on the right-hand side of the Homepage). I made it today and it took me only about 20 minutes and was delicious! You can see my cookies below. If you're a chocolate or peanut butter lover, it's a must try! You don't even have to bake it!
This recipe, which is on the bottom of this page, has seven ingredients, but if you're like me, you probably already have milk, sugar, butter, and peanut butter at home. So I only had to purchase a few items from the store. One of the most important ingredient here is the chocolate. The recipe asks for SEMI-SWEET chocolate. SEMI is a prefix placed before a word to mean "partly but not completely". Semisweet chocolate has more chocolate percentage than Milk Chocolate but less than Dark Chocolate. So it's partly sweet and chocolaty but not completely! That's the meaning of SEMI.
