These wonderful easy-to-make cookies bring back memories of being a little girl and my own mother making these for me and my sisters. I love making them and I hope you will too! I can’t wait to make them for Zeke, Madie Ruth, and Jackson!
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups of sugar
1 stick of butter
1/2 cup of milk
1/4 cup of unsweetened Cocoa powder
1 tsp. of vanilla
1/2 cup of peanut butter
3 cups of raw oatmeal
* Mix sugar, butter, milk and cocoa in a saucepan on top of the stove and bring to a boil for about 30-40 seconds, stirring the whole time.
* Immediately remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla and the peanut butter.
* Now pour in the 3 cups of Oatmeal, mixing well.
* Drop by spoonfuls on waxed paper and let cool and set up! Do not bake!
ENJOY this cookie – it has to be pretty good for you with the cocoa and raw oatmeal and peanut butter…just don’t eat too many (at one time)!
Love,
We used to have these in the school lunchroom. They put raisins in them sometimes. I jotted down your recipe and my little guy and I made them. They were Yummy Good. Thanks for the recipe.
Jan,
These are our family’s favorite cookies. I made them for our two and now our granddaughters love them. I sent them to our son when he was in Afghanistan. He just told me that only a few of them made it to him as ‘cookies’ the rest were crumbs!!! That was fine with him–he just took the crumbs to the mess tent and put them on ice cream!!!!
These are my all time favorite!
My mom always made them when we were kids.
I almost always have all of the ingredients on hand to make them too.
Luv ’em!!!!! Definitely can’t just eat one. 🙂
I just thought about these cookies last week and hoped to find a recipe! Thank you! And what’s more- I have all those ingredients! Hooray!
Those are so good! Been years since I ate any. Thanks for the reminder about them, Jan. I hope you have a wonderful Lord’s Day.

I love these cookies and it is hard to just eat 1. 😉
I made those cookies with my mom while growing up as well 🙂
LOVE THEM and yet somehow I don’t make them with my boys 🙁
I am going to have to fix that!!!
Enjoy your day!
These are some of my most favorite cookies. I’m a chocolate/peanut butter kind of gal. 😉
My mama made them alot when I was a little girl and they are my absolute favorite! We call it oatmeal candy, though. I finally decided to learn to make it on my own since she doesn’t bake as much as she used to.
Thanks for sharing. It brings back such sweet memories just seeing them.
Sounds delicious! I can’t wait to try them. I might have to make a batch for some pre-wedding sustenance!
