Peanut Butter Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

I bake when I am mad. Honestly, I have been mad and stressed a lot lately. But this is one easy, delicious recipe that puts me back into the right mood!

These chocolate, peanut butter cookies require no baking, and thus, are much quicker to make than normal cookies. Or perhaps they should be called a candy. Either way, they are delicious.

Ingredients

• 1 stick butter or margarine
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 cups sugar
• 5 Tablespoons (or less) cocoa powder
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 3 cups (plus some) of quick cooking rolled oats

Directions

1. Melt butter in a large saucepan.
2. Add milk and sugar to the melted butter, and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
3. Mix in cocoa powder-to your liking.
4. Add the one cup of peanut butter, and stir the mixture until the peanut butter has combined.
5. Slowly combine the oats into the peanut-butter-chocolate-y goodness until all the oats are covered in chocolate. Then drop the mixture onto a sheet of wax paper by the tablespoon.

You can enjoy these treats hot and cold, although I can never hold out until they cool. These really are perfect for a bad day!
