Things You'll Need:
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tbs. baking cocoa
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cube butter or margarine
- 2 1/2 cups quick oats
- 4 tbs. creamy peanut butter
- 1 tsp. vanilla
-
Step 1
Melt margarine or butter in a saucepan over high heat. Add cocoa, milk and sugar.
-
Step 2
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Reduce the heat to medium high. Boil for 3 minutes.
-
Step 3
In the meantime, measure oats, peanut butter and vanilla. Put in a bowl and set aside.
-
Step 4
Lay out approximately 2 feet of parchment paper, waxed paper or tinfoil.
-
Step 5
Immediately remove boiling mixture from the heat and turn off the stove when the 3 minutes is over. Quickly add oat mixture and stir until it is all combined.
-
Step 6
Work quickly to drop tablespoonfuls of cookie mix on the paper or foil. They will not spread; leave just enough space between cookies so they don't touch.
-
Step 7
Let cookies cool until they are firm and easily removed from the paper or foil. Store in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers.
