No Bake Cookies

This recipe was always a hit during my childhood. When mom would make these cookies, we knew we were in for a treat!

2 cups sugar
4 Tbsp. Cocoa
1 stick of butter
1/2 cup milk

Mix together milk, sugar,and cocoa in a sauce pan until blended. Add stick of butter and stir over medium heat until butter is melted, stirring often to keep from burning. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from burner and stir in the following:

1/2 cup peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Stir well and when melted,add 3 cups quick oats. Stir thoroughly for 1-2 minutes until no longer glossy. Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper. Allow to harden and enjoy!
