jennythereaderA family favorite that is more like fudge than anything else.
Ingredients
2 cups sugar
4 Tablespoons unsweetened baking cocoa
4 Tablespoons butter
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 cups rolled quick oats
Directions
Boil the first 4 ingredients together for 1 minute in a large, heavy bottomed saucepan.
Remove from heat and add vanilla, peanut butter, and oats.
Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper and let cool.
Notes
You can use either creamy or chunky peanut butter. I usually use creamy.
I find this recipe is much easier to make if you measure everything out before combining anything. Once you take the chocolate of the heat you only have a few minutes when it's still hot enough to easily mix in the peanut butter and oats.
Keep the chocolate on the boil for 1 full minute. Even a few seconds off in either direction can noticeably change texture of the finished cookie.
In my family we usually double this recipe, sometimes triple it, and every once in a while quadruple it.
