No Bake Cookies

I've loved these simple easy to make cookies ever since I could remember. Funny thing is that I have never had them as individual cookies! We've always taken wax paper and placed in in a casserole dish and just poured the mix in like a cake. We let it cool and then just break a chunk off!

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups white sugar

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup butter

4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup peanut butter (crunchy or creamy...I prefer creamy)

3 cups quick cooking oats

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix the sugar, milk, butter and cocoa in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Let it boil for 1 1/2 minutes. Yes I said one and a half minutes! Any longer and the consistency is either too soft or too crumbly. Remove from heat and add oats, peanut butter and vanilla. Stir well and then pour onto wax paper or you can actually make it into real cookies by dropping it by the spoonful onto the wax paper. Let it cool and enjoy.

I myself can't help but set aside some of the mixture after I have poured it and eat it warm!! Yumm!
