No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

These are my go-to cookie when the kids want something for dessert and I am short on time. I make the cookies, toss the girls in the tub and by the time bath is over the cookies are set up & ready for a cold glass of milk. Enjoy!

1 stick unsalted butter
1/2 cup milk
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups oatmeal

In a heavy saucepan melt the butter (med-high heat). Add the milk, sugar, cocoa & salt. Stir and cook until mixture begins to boil. Add the peanut butter & vanilla; stir to combine. Once pb is incorporated, add oats and stir to combine. Cook 3-5 minutes until mixture comes together. Remove from stove. Drop dough by heaping tablespoons onto parchment paper. Allow cookies to cool 20-30 minutes and enjoy.
