Chocolate Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies

I found this recipe about 15 minutes ago...and the cookies are already made, and cooling on the counter!  By the way the batter tastes, these puppies are going to be a regular at our house!  I got the original recipe on this website: http://morganmoore.typepad.com/one_more_moore/2009/04/when-its-too-hot-to-bake-we-nobake.html  but you guys know me:  I HAD TO CHANGE IT UP.  :)


Ingredients:
1/2 Cup butter (1 stick)
2 Cups sugar
1/2 Cup milk
1/2 Cup semi-sweet baking chocolate chips
1/2 Cup peanut butter (I used chunky)
3- 3 1/2 Cups quick cook oats
2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:
*Mix the butter (it can be straight out of the fridge; does not need to be room temperature), sugar, milk, and chocolate chips in a big skillet on your stove.


*Turn to medium high.  Once there is a rolling boil, continue to cook for one minute.  I used a whisk to stir the entire time so it didn't burn.


*Once it has boiled for a full minute, remove mixture from the heat.

*Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract.


*Add the oats and stir until completely mixed.



*Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment or waxed paper.

*Drop cookie dough by spoonfuls onto the baking sheets.


*Set the baking sheets off to the side until cooled.

*Yup, these are that easy.
