Chocolate - Oatmeal No Bake Cookies

Gabby (along with Joey and Mac) is visiting for a couple of weeks. Yesterday, was Gabby's day to help in the kitchen and she thought we needed some kind of cookies. We settled on these No Bake delights! There are several recipes for no bake cookies, but this one is the best we have tried.

Chocolate - Oatmeal No Bake Cookies

2 cups sugar
4 Tablespoons cocoa
1 stick butter
1/2 cup milk

1 cup peanut butter
1 Tablespoon vanilla
3 1/2 cups oatmeal

Place butter in a large, heavy pot or skillet and melt over low heat. Stir in cocoa, sugar and milk. When ingredients are well blended, increase heat and boil for 1 minute. Turn off heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla. When the mixture is completely blended and nice and smooth, add oatmeal and stir well. Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper. (We buttered a 9 x 13 baking dish and placed our cookies in it, later cutting them into bars.)
