A quick and easy cookie to make without having to turn on the oven. If you like them a bit more soft, just use approximately 2 cups of the oats. Easy enough for kid cooks & first time cooks. (The hour passive work time is to allow the cookies to cool completely)

1/2 cup butter
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
5 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 cup peanut butter (can be crunchy if you prefer)
2 1/2 cups oats
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
1. Mix sugar and cocoa together in a 2 quart saucepan.
2. Add the milk and butter.
3. Cook over medium heat and bring to a boil.
4. Cook for one minute and then remove from heat.
5. Add vanilla and peanut butter and stir until peanut butter is mixed well.
6. Add oats and quickly mix well.
7. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls (or use a 2 tsp scoop) onto parchment paper.
8. Let cool completely & then store in an airtight container.
