SOMETHING DIFFERENT TODAY

Granny Carter's Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

1/2 cup butter

2 cups sugar

1/2 cup milk

4 TBLS cocoa

1/2 cup peanut butter [I use creamy like Granny]

2 tsp vanilla

3-3 1/2 cups dry quick cook oat meal

In a 4 qt sauce pan mix first 4 ingredients. Bring to a rolling boil and hold for 1 min.

Add peanut butter and stir until melted. Add vanilla and oats. Drop by tablespoons onto waxed paper and let cool. [I am rolling some into 1 inch balls which can be sprinkled with confectioners sugar, dipped in white chocolate, etc. You can also shape the ball around a cherry or nut. Use your imagination and have fun.]

Thanks to rECj for sharing the family favorite with us.
