This is our all-time favorite family recipe! Once you get comfortable with the recipe, it's easy to whip up a batch in fifteen minutes or less.

2 cups sugar

1/4 cup (or 1/2 stick) butter

1/2 cup milk

4 Tbsp. cocoa powder

~*~

1 tsp. vanilla

1/2 cup peanut butter

3 cups oats (we prefer old-fashioned, but quick-cooking works as well)

-Lightly grease or butter a 9x13” baking dish and set aside (If you wish to make individual cookies, prepare a sheet of wax paper instead).

-Combine sugar, butter, milk, and cocoa and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes then remove from heat.

-Add peanut butter, vanilla, and oats and stir until completely mixed in.

-Pour immediately into prepared pan or spoon into cookies on wax paper.
