No Bake Cookies

2 cups sugar

½ cup butter

½ cup milk

3 tablespoons cocoa

3 cups quick cooking oats

¼ cup peanut butter

½ teaspoon vanilla 


Line a cookie tray with parchment paper. (Or just lay a strip of parchment paper on the counter.)


In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, butter, milk, and cocoa. Over medium-high heat stir and bring to a boil. Boil for one minute.


Remove from heat and quickly add the oats, peanut butter, and vanilla. Quickly stir the mixture, then use a cookie scoop to drop cookies onto the cookie tray lined with parchment paper. Allow cookies to set up before serving.
