Cookies for a Snowy Day: No Bake Cookies

Many thanks to Amy @ The Finer Things for this quick and easy treat!

No Bake Cookies

1/2 c. butter or margarine
1/2 c. milk
2 c. sugar
3 c. oatmeal (I use old fashioned)
5 Tbsp. cocoa
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 c. peanut butter (I like chunky)

1. Mix butter, sugar, cocoa, and milk in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil.
2. Boil for one minute, stirring constantly.
3. Remove from heat.
4. Add cocoa, oatmeal, vanilla, and peanut butter.
5. Mix well.
6. Spoon onto wax paper.

Makes about 2 1/2 dozen cookies.

*I like to use my cookie scoop for a more uniform shape. I squash them a little after scooping.
*If you’re in a hurry, place the wax paper on a cookie sheet pan. After scooping, let the cookies set up in the fridge.
