No Bake Cookies

I've got to take a short break from the lightweight posts to bring you this special delivery: No Bake Cookies. These are Justin's favorite and I had to make a special batch last night.



The recipe is simple.
1 stick butter
1/2 c. milk
1/4. cocoa
2 c. sugar
1t. vanilla
1/2 c. peanut butter
3 cups oats

Begin by melting a stick of butter in a large saucepan. When melted, add 1/2c. milk and 1/4 c unsweetened cocoa (powder), and 2 cups of sugar. Bring to a boil, no longer than 5 minutes. Remove from heat, add 1t. vanilla, 1/2 c. peanut butter and 3 cups of oats. Spoon onto wax paper and let cool. They will set up when they cool.
