no bake chocolate and pb cookies

INGREDIENTS

• 1 3/4 cups white sugar
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup butter
• 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
• 3 cups quick-cooking oats
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS

1. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa. Bring to a boil, and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in peanut butter, oats, and vanilla. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto wax paper. Let cool until hardened.

NOTE TO SELF:

er… i subbed in vegoil for butter, which was a phenomenally bad idea, because they turned out a bit too greasy looking. confectioner’s sugar on top didn’t help much. had no chunky pb, so used chopped walnuts (approx a handful), which worked fine, maybe add more? too mushy to give people though, despite freezing it

hm.
