1/2 lb. (2 sticks) butter
5 1/2 cups oatmeal
4 cups sugar
4 tbsp. cocoa
1 (16 oz.) jar peanut butter (I use natural)
2 tbsp. vanilla
2 cups milk

Melt butter, add milk, sugar and cocoa. Boil for 3 to 5 minutes.

In a separate large bowl stir together vanilla and peanut butter. Add hot mixture to bowl and mix very well. Add oats and stir in with wooden spoon.

Scoop out large cookies onto waxed paper and CHILL UNTIL HARD.

Enjoy!
