No-Bake Cookies with Peanut Butter, Oats & Chocolate

Sweet tooth? Too hot for the oven? Try these creamy and chewy no-bake cookies. They are easy to make and before you know it, a big batch of these cookies will be sitting on your table. Extra bonus--you'll only need to use one pan. 

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups old-fashioned oats

Add sugar, butter, milk, and cocoa to a medium saucepan. Heat the mixture to boiling and let boil for one minute, stirring often so it doesn't burn. Remove pan from heat. 

Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla, mixing well. Add the oats and mix thoroughly. 

Place by tablespoon (for small) on parchment paper and let set for a couple of hours. Store in an airtight container. You can freeze any leftovers.

Makes about 48 small or 24 large cookies.
