• Servings: about 30 cookies
• 2 cups sugar
• 8 Tbsp. (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy; I used creamy)
• 2 1/2 to 3 cups rolled oats

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, cocoa, milk, and vanilla.
2. Bring to a slow boil, and simmer until the sugar had dissolved; stir in the peanut butter, remove from heat.
3. Stir in 2 1/2 cups of oats (mixture should be thick); add the remaining 1/2 cup of oats if necessary.
4. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper; drop the mixture by the heaping tablespoonful onto the parchment.
5. Allow the cookies to firm up at room temperature, about one hour.

This is another receipe that I got from Cosmopolitan Magazine (November 2008 issue). And it was adapted from 'The Comfort Table' by Kathie Lee Joel.
