No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies - Twelve Days of Christmas Day #4 - works every time!

No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
1/2 cup butter
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup Hershey’s Cocoa
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups Quick Cooking Oats
Before you begin, have all the ingredients out and measured because this moves fast and you won’t have time to measure as you go. Also, put a long sheet of parchment paper or wax paper on the counter to scoop the cookies onto.
In a large saucepan, allow the butter to melt over low heat. While that is slowly melting, sift together the sugar and cocoa, removing any lumps that might be in it. Once the butter is melted, stir in the sugar/cocoa mixture and the milk. Turn up the heat to medium and begin stirring constantly. Cook and stir until the mixture reaches a full rolling boil. As soon as it comes to a full rolling boil, start your timer for two minutes exactly. As soon as the mixture has boiled for exactly 2 minutes, remove from the heat and add the peanut butter and vanilla. Stir quickly to melt the peanut butter. Immediately add the oats and stir constantly for one more minute, or just until it loses its glossy shine. Scoop spoonfuls onto the parchment paper and allow to cool and harden.
