This is a quick and easy way to make some tasty cookies right on the stove! I’m not sure where my mom got the original recipes, but we’ve been making them for years.
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups quick oats
Combine sugar, cocoa, butter, and milk in a large saucepan. Mix well and bring to a full, rolling boil. Boil 1 minute and remove from heat.
Add peanut butter and vanilla and stir well. Add quick oats, stirring to coat all of the oats. Drop on to wax paper. These can cool on the counter top or in the refrigerator.
