No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

By suekendrick

These cookies are great for when you are in a hurry for a fresh made cookie and they taste great...kind of like fudge, yet still a cookie.

Ingredients

• 2 cups sugar
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup peanut butter, I like to use chunky
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 3 cups quick cooking oatmeal

Preparation

Step 1

Combine sugar, cocoa, milk and butter; bring to a boil and let it boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add the peanut butter, vanilla and then the oatmeal. Stir until combined. Drop by spoonfuls (I use and ice-cream scoop so that they are more uniform in size) onto a cookie sheet. Work quickly to get them all spooned out, as the cookies will begin to set up. You may want to line the cookie sheet with wax paper, but usually once the cookies are set up completely, they don't stick. Let the cookies cool and set before eating.
