No-Bake Chocolate Cookies
Previously posted on recipelink.com by Sue/NE
Makes 4 dozen

2 cups sugar
4 T. cocoa
1 stick margarine or butter
1/2 cup milk
3 cups oatmeal
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Combine oatmeal, peanut butter and vanilla in a large bowl. I use a pastry blender to incorporate p. butter with oatmeal. Should be uniform in texture.

In a saucepan, combine sugar, cocoa, margarine and milk. Bring to a boil and boil for 1 1/2 minutes.
Pour hot mixture over dry ingredients in bowl. Combine well. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper to cool. Work quickly so mixture doesn't harden.
