No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients:

• ¹⁄₂ cup butter
• 1 ¹⁄₂ cups white sugar
• ¹⁄₂ cup packed brown sugar
• ¹⁄₂ cup milk
• 4 tablespoons cocoa
• 1 pinch kosher salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup creamy peanut butter (or chunky but is seems to make a more crumbly, dry cookie)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 3 cups dry quick-cooking oats

Directions:

1. Add the first six ingredients into a 4-quart sauce pan.
2. Bring to a rolling boil and hold for 1 minute.
3. Remove from heat.
4. Add peanut butter into the hot mixture and stir until melted.
5. Add in vanilla. (almond extract is good also, but I only use 1/2 teaspoon almond extract with 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract).
6. Mix in the dry oats until they are completely coated.
7. Drop cookies by tablespoonfuls onto wax paper.
8. Let cool until set.
