No Bake Cookies

One of our favorite after school treats are no bake cookies. My mom used to make these for me and I loved them and now I make them for my children and grandchildren. They are fairly easy to make. Want to try some?

1/2 cup milk
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups instant oats

Combine the first 4 ingredients in medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for two minutes, then remove from heat. Add the peanut butter and stir well. Add vanilla and oatmeal, mix well until oats are well coated. Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Let cool and serve.
