Recipe type: Cookies
Serves: 3.5 dozen
Ingredients
  • ½ cup butter (margarine will work too)
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 heaping Tablespoons baking cocoa
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 cups quick oats
Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, mix butter, milk, sugar, and cocoa.
  2. While you're waiting for the butter to melt (and occasionally stirring), measure your peanut butter and line two cookie sheets with waxed paper.
  3. When butter has melted, bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
  4. Continue stirring and keep at a rolling boil for a full minute. If you go any longer than 90 seconds at a full boil, your cookies will be dry and crumbly, but if you don't go at least 60 seconds at a full boil they won't set up right.
  5. Remove from heat and add peanut butter and vanilla. Stir until peanut butter is melted and incorporated.
  6. Add oats and stir until they're well-coated with chocolate.
  7. Quickly spoon onto wax paper covered cookie sheets. Don't waste any time here!
  8. Allow to cool and firm up. To speed this process you can put them in the fridge.
  9. Be sure to scrape the pan and lick the spoon. This is a must!
