When I was a kid, my mom made these fairly often. My younger brothers would call them “chocolate bumpy cookies” because of their bumpy texture! No matter what you call them, they were always a good treat.
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 stick margarine or butter
- 3 Tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups oatmeal (old fashioned oats, not instant)
Mix the sugar, butter, cocoa, and milk in a medium-large saucepan. Boil for 1 minute. Add the peanut butter and vanilla. Mix quickly until peanut butter melts, then add the oatmeal and mix til well blended. Drop spoonfuls on tin foil, wax paper or parchment. Allow to set and cool completely.
Makes 2 dozen 3 inch cookies.
