No-bake cookies

Daniel's favorite. Quick, easy and delicious!

½ cup milk
2 cups sugar
1stick butter
4 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Mix the above in a heavy saucepan. Stir frequently and bring to a boil; let mixture boil for EXACTLY one minute.

Remove from heat and add:

1 cup peanut butter
1 Tbsp vanilla

Stir until smooth. Add:

3 cups oats (regular or quick is fine. I prefer regular because quick can be  bit soggy.)

Mix thoroughly. All the oats should be completely coated with the chocolate mixture. Drop on wax paper by spoonfuls. I always place it in the freezer for a few minutes to set faster, but if you're willing to wait, you don't need to do that.

You can leave out the cocoa if you like. Chunky peanut butter is also good!
