Chocolate Peanut-Butter No Bake Cookies

 First baking post = most basic cookie....the no bake. If your just starting to bake, this is hands down the "easiest" cookie to start with. It is also a very good way to determine if you should find a new hobby! If you have an obsession with peanut-butter (like me), they could very well be your favorite.

Essentials
2 cups sugar
4 tablespoons cocoa (preferrably hershey's)
1 stick butter
1/2 cup milk
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 cups oatmeal
waxed paper


Directions
1.In a heavy saucepan bring to a boil, the sugar, cocoa, butter and milk. (I recomment putting the butter and milk in first to ensure the sugar won't stick to the bottom of the pan)
2. Let boil for 1 minute
3. Add peanut butter, vanilla and oatmeal.
4. Turn off burner, and stir until mixed completely
5. On a sheet of waxed paper, drop mixture by the teaspoonfuls, until cooled and hardened.
