Everyone's Favorite No-Bake Cookies
The secret lies not only in the proportion of ingredients, but also in the cooking time: Boil the mixture 1 minute - no less, or the cookies won't set; no more than 1 minute, or they'll crumble apart.
Makes about 2 dozen.
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/2 cup butter
3 cups quick oats
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Place oats, peanut butter and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
Set aside.
Combine sugar, milk, cocoa and butter in a large saucepan.
Bring to a boil; boil 1 minute (no longer!).
Remove from heat.
Pour over oat mixture; stir well.
Drop by large spoonsful onto wax paper and let cool.
