No Bake Cookies

This post is in honor of Chelsea, who requested the recipe for these scrumptious treats. I hope that y'all are finally successful in making these, Chelsea!! When making these, I generally use only half the amount of sugar called for. They're a little healthier and taste a little fudgier that way, and if you like them sweeter you can put a dusting of powdered sugar on top.

---No Bake Cookies---

Ingredients:
-1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
-1/2 cup evaporated milk
-2 cups sugar
-1/2 cup cocoa
-1 tsp vanilla
-1/4 cup peanut butter
-3 cups quick oats

Directions:
Combine the butter, milk, sugar, and cocoa in a pot and bring to a rolling boil. Continue boiling for one minute without stirring. Remove from heat and add in the vanilla, peanut butter, and oats. Quickly drop rounded spoonfuls onto wax paper, or pat them out into a pan to make bar cookies and cut when cool.
