No bake cookies

No bakes have to be one of my all time favorite cookies.  They are also idea for making when you need that something sweet but don't want to turn your oven on.  Chances are you also have most the items in your pantry anyway.

No Bake cookies (from my mom)
2 cups sugar
1 stick butter
1/2 cup milk
3 Tablespoons cocoa
 Mix all above in a medium pan on the stove.  Bring to a boil for 1 minute (I set a timer, it is important to get a full minute).  Remove from heat.

1/2 cup peanut butter (smooth)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups oats
Mix in peanut butter and vanilla until smooth.  Then add the oats and stir to coat.  Drop by the spoonful onto waxed/parchment paper and let cool.
