While a certain someone is on summer vacation, we are in the kitchen making goodies... it's one of our favorite pass time. It is so hot right now here in SoCal... right around 95-105 degrees all week!
So.... Lets give the oven a break! We decided to whip up a batch of these simple classic favorites... They're so addictive!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 - 3 1/2 cups quick cooking oats

- **4 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- **1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 teaspoon vanilla - optional
NOTE:
If you want chocolate cookies, just add cocoa powder.
If you want peanut butter cookies, just add peanut butter.
Or if you want both cocoa and peanut butter..... these are the best and the way
I make them.... almost every time!
