Extra Rich Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal No Bake Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups sugar
4 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 cup butter, cut in chunks
1/2 cup milk
1 cup peanut butter
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 cups oatmeal

Preparation

Measure and prepare all ingredients and have them and a timer within arm's reach. Its important to work quickly and pay attention.
Combine the butter, sugar, cocoa, and milk in a heavy saucepan then bring to a boil, stirring constantly, over medium heat.
Boil for 1 minute exactly, continuing to stir and reducing heat if necessary to prevent the chocolate from burning.
Remove from heat then add vanilla. It will boil up violently -- just stir it in until it subsides.
Add the peanut butter and stir. Once peanut butter melts completely stir int the oatmeal.
Let rest 5 minutes.
Drop mixture by the tablespoonfuls onto a sheet of waxed paper. Let sit an hour or more until fully cooled and hardened.
