No-Bake Cookies

Not only are these cookies so delicious but they are so simple and quick to make!  Who doesn't love chocolate and peanut butter?  These taste fudgey (is that a word?) and have just the right amount of peanut butter.  The cookies I made I only used 4 cups of oats but they were a little too wet so they didn't dry right away, so I bumped it up to 5 cups, which should take care of that.

Here's what you'll need to make them:

Ingredients                                                                              Yields: about 2 dozen cookies

1 cup Milk

4 cups Sugar

8 Tablespoons Cocoa

1 cup (2 sticks) Butter

2 teaspoons Vanilla

1 cup Peanut Butter

5 cups Quick Oats

Wax Paper

Steps:

1. Set out a couple sheets of wax paper (about the length of your arm). In a pot, mix together the sugar, milk, cocoa and butter. Place the mixture on the stove, and let it heat until it reaches a boil, boil for 3 minutes, no need to stir.

2. Next, add the oats, vanilla and peanut butter. You can either leave the mixture in the pot when adding these ingredients if it is big enough, or carefully pour them into a large bowl before adding the oats etc.

3. Mix all of the ingredients until completely combined, then quickly drop the mix onto the wax paper. You can make the cookies whatever size you want, whatever size you put on the paper is what size they will be when they harden. Now let the cookies cool so they will fully harden, which doesn't take long at all.

That's it!   Enjoy!
