Cookie Week: Mom's No Bakes

I feel like every other recipe I post has oatmeal in it. That's because it's good and good for you. Especially when it is combined with chocolate. This is the easiest recipe ever and takes about the same time as whipping up a batch of oatmeal. Lisa, Tricia and I all use it. It came from Mom. What's not to love about that?

Mom's No Bakes

2 cups sugar
4 tablespoons cocoa
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk

Cook this mixture until it boils. Turn heat down, then cook two minutes (this is important). Remove from heat and add 4 tablespoons butter, 2 cups oats, 1 cup peanut butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla. Mix well and drop on wax paper. Eat when cool.
