Peanut Butter Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

Combine in a good pan over medium heat:

1 stick butter
2 cups sugar
3 Tbs cocoa
1/2 cup milk

Over low heat, melt and combine.
Over medium high heat and stirring constantly, bring to boil and boil for 2 1/2 minutes, adjusting heat to keep just at the boil.

Quickly mix in and combine until mixture begins to thicken and harden:
1/4 cup peanut butter
3 cups oats
1 tsp vanilla extract

Quickly spoon cookie-sized dobs onto wax paper or lightly greased cookie sheet.
Allow to cool and harden.
Eat.

The time at boil and then waiting for the hardening to begin before spooning are key to getting these to properly harden (not too much that they crumble, not too little so they are a gooey mess).
