Healthier No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 2/3 cups sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 cup milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup peanut butter
5 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups rolled oats

Preparation

Mix sugar, cocoa, milk and salt in saucepan; boil for one minute.
Add peanut butter, butter, and vanilla to hot mixture; stir until combined.
Stir in oats thoroughly and drop by spoonfuls (I use a small cookie scoop) onto waxed paper. Cool thoroughly before removing from paper.
(Note: the new nasty-tasting flaxseed peanut butters taste just fine in this recipe; add that and increase the healthiness even more!).
