These are my stepdad's favorite cookies. And when he requests them, he wants to lick the wooden spoon, bowl, spatula and everything. And he doesn't wait for them to harden; he eats them off the wax paper with a spoon. Yeah, they're just that good.
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2 1/2 cups uncooked rolled oats (or quick-cooking oats)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1. In a medium saucepan off of the stove, combine sugar and cocoa powder. Add in milk and butter; stir.
2. Place saucepan on the stove and turn heat to low. After sugar and butter are melted, increase heat to medium-low. Cook until it starts to boil, stirring frequently.
3. Boil for about 2 minutes, then remove pan from heat.
4. Add the peanut butter and oats. Stir until well mixed.
5. Stir in vanilla. If mixture is too thin, add an additional 1/2 cup oats. Let mixture cool for about 15 minutes.
6. Drop mixture onto wax paper by spoonfuls. Let harden at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
