• Yields: 20-24 cookies

Ingredients

• 3  cups sugar
• 3  cups  of instant oat  meal
• 1  teaspoon vanilla
• 1⁄4 cup  cocoa
• 1  cup peanut butter
• 1⁄2 cup milk

Directions

1. I've found that it works best to set everything up before you start. You will need a sauce pan, a large mixing bowl, and wax paper. To prepare place wax paper on counter approximately 18-20 inches long to drop cookies on.
2. Before heating the pot, put sugar, vanilla, cocoa, and milk in sauce pan.
3. In your large mixing bowl put oat meal and peanut butter.
4. Heat sauce pan on high heat stirring very slowly and constantly, when the mixture starts to boil rapidly boil for 3 minutes.
5. Pour contents of sauce pan into large mixing bowl and mix with oat meal and peanut butter. This must be done quickly.
6. using a medium size spoon drop cookies on wax paper to cool and harden. This should take 10-15 minutes depending on the size of the cookies.
7. *** Should cookies not harden you can try placing them in the fridge.
