No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies Recipe

This was one of my favorite recipes when I was a kid because I was forbidden to turn the oven on when I was home alone.

• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup cocoa
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 3 cups quick cooking oats
• 2 teaspoons vanilla

1. Add butter, sugar, milk and cocoa to a pan and bring to a boil.
2. Boil for 1 minute.
3. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter, oats and vanilla.
4. Drop by tablespoons onto wax paper and allow to cool.

Hint: You may need more or less oats, so don’t be afraid to add more if the dough looks too thin or wet.
