No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

I made these while babysitting back in high school and after coming across the recipe again this weekend, decided to make and bring them along to a friend's house for dinner. They were so easy to make, used very few ingredients and are absolutely delicious if you're a peanut butter & chocolate fan like me! Enjoy...

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
1/4 lb. unsalted butter
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
3 cups oatmeal

Combine sugar, cocoa, butter, milk, peanut butter and salt in large heavy saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a soft boil. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla, then oats. Drop by tablespoonfuls on waxed paper and let harden. If transporting, place layers of cookies between wax paper in container so they don't stick together.

This batch made about 16 large cookies for us, but we could've easily made them smaller and gotten 20-25.
