No Bake Cookies

2 cups sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
1 tsp salt
3 cups oatmeal
1/4 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup peanut butter

Place butter and milk in saucepan.  Mix sugar, salt and cocoa together and add to the milk and butter.   Boil for 2 minutes.  Remove from heat and add the vanilla and peanut butter.  Stir well.  Add the oatmeal.  Stir until they hold their shape.  Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed or parchment paper.  Cool and enjoy.

You can make plain peanut butter cookies also.  Just don't put the cocoa in.  Everything else is the same.
