UNBAKED OATMEAL COOKIES

UNBAKED OATMEAL COOKIES
These are great to make on those hot summer
days when you don't want to heat up the oven.
I use to make these all the time when
I was a kid.

1/2 cup milk
1 stick butter
2 tablespoons cocoa
3 cups 1 minute oats
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
Mix first 4 ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil exactly 1 minute.

Remove from heat and add 3 cups of oats and 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter.

Drop by spoonfuls on waxed paper. Let stand until cooled.
