Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 15 servings
Ingredients
Bolded items available at Dewig Meats
- ½ cup butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup milk
- 4 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3½ cups quick cook oats
Instructions
- Combine the butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder in a saucepan.
- Bring to a rolling boil and boil for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat. Stir in the peanut butter, vanilla, and oats. (*Note: 3½ cups quick oats is too little, but 4 cups is too much. After 3½ cups, continue to add oats sparingly until you get to a pliable consistency. 3½ cups is too runny to make a cookie that will stay together.)
- Using a tablespoon, drop the dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet.
- Let cookies cool until set. This takes about 10-15 minutes.
