½ cup butter
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup cocoa
3 cups quick oats
½ cup milk
2 cups sugar
½ cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix butter, sugar, milk, cocoa and salt in a saucepan.
Bring to a boil and continue to boil for one minute, stirring constantly. Add oats, peanut butter and vanilla and stir until peanut butter is dissolved.
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper. Cool. For a crunchy cookie, nuts or coconut may be added with the oatmeal.
