Ingredients

  • 2 cups sugar

  • 4 tbsp cocoa

  • 4 tbsp butter

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter

  • 1 tsp vanilla

  • 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats

Directions

  • Mix 2 cups sugar, 4 tbsp cocoa, 4 tbsp butter, and 1/2 cup milk in medium saucepan. Cook on medium heat and bring to a boil. Stir frequently but not constantly. Allow to boil hard for 1 minute.
  • Remove pan from heat. Add 1/2 cup peanut butter and 1 tsp vanilla. Mix until dissolved.
  • Add 2 1/2 cups oats. Mix until oats are coated thoroughly.
  • Let mixture cool for 5-10 minutes, then drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper (if you do it too soon they’ll melt into one giant cookie which is okay, too). Let cookies cool on the waxed paper to harden.
