INSTRUCTIONS
Form two sheets of cookies with parchment paper.
It is very important that all the ingredients are measured and ready before you start and make sure you read the instructions before making these cookies. The process is fast!
Melt the butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the sugar, milk and cocoa powder. Beat until smooth, then bring to a boil and cook for 1 ½ minutes, stirring occasionally. NOTE: You must boil them enough or they will not settle. To be sure of this, boil the mixture until it reaches 230°F in a candy dish or on an instant read thermometer. If you don’t have a thermometer, this will take about 1 ½ minutes at medium heat.
Remove from heat and add peanut butter, salt, vanilla and oatmeal.
Use a cookie spoon to drop 2 tablespoons of cookie mixture on the prepared baking sheets. Let them settle to harden or cool down to make them harden faster.
