Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

My parents have been making these cookies for as long as I can remember. They are my absolute favorite cookies of all time. I asked my mom and dad where the recipe came from and dad said he couldn't remember exactly. He just remembers having these cookies in 1st grade and loved them!

CHOCOLATE OATMEAL COOKIES

2 c. Sugar
1 stick Butter
1/2 c. Milk
1/2 c. cocoa powder
1 tsp. Vanilla
1/2 c. Peanut Butter
3 c. Oatmeal

Cook sugar, butter, milk and cocoa in a saucepan until it boils (bubbles all over the top). Boil for 2 to 3 minutes or until a ball forms when a drop is dropped in cold water (soft-ball stage on candy thermometer). Take from heat and stir in vanilla, peanut butter and oatmeal. Drop by spoonful onto waxed paper.

Hope you Y these as much as I do!

  1. Oh these are the best. I remember we made these all of the time in college. Do you remember the batch we did when we were out of plain oatmeal? We dumped a bunch of single-serve packages of apple cinnamon flavored oatmeal out on the kitchen table and sorted out the apple pieces!
