Recipe #15450 | 50 min | 30 min prep | add private note

These cookies are known through town. They take a while to make but are well worth it. Be sure to use instant oats. I have tried updating the recipe numerous times to state that, but it defaults to "Quicker Quaker Oats". It helps to stir them in a bit at a time so they cook and you can gauge the dryness of the mixture.

30 cookies (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Bring butter, sugar, cocoa, and milk to a hard boil over low heat, stirring constantly in a heavy sauce pan.
  2. 2
    Boil for just over 1 minute. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract and peanut butter until all is melted.
  3. 3
    Add oats.
  4. 4
    Work quickly dropping by spoonfuls onto wax paper.
  5. 5
    Let sit until hard.
  6. 6
    If the cookies are too dry, try boiling for less time or adding less oats.
  7. 7
    If they are too runny boil longer or add more oats.

    I made this so many times growing up that I no longer need to look at the recipe, because I have it memorized! Who can wait for them to cool!!! Our favorite time to eat them is while they are warm. We add the butter with the peanut butter and vanilla and only cook to a soft ball. Also, I like to mix the cocoa and sugar together before adding the milk... fewer lumps to break up.

    Everyone I know loves these cookies! The only change I make is I use one square of Baker's Chocolate in place of coccoa. These are especially great in the summer because they don't create any extra heat, but watch out or you might add to your waistline...I can never have just one!
