Directions:
Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with wax paper.

1. In a medium sauce pan, add butter, sugar, milk and cocoa. Place on medium heat.

2. While you wait for the mixture to begin to boil, measure out your peanut butter and oats and have your vanilla jar and measuring spoon handy. Once this process gets started – you have to work quickly.

3. Bring the mixture in the sauce pan to a rolling boil – once it is at a full boil – boil for 1 minute and 15 seconds.

4. Remove the pan from the heat immediately.

5. Add in the peanut butter – stir. Stir in the oats. Add in the vanilla – stir.

6. Drop the cookie mixture by tablespoons onto baking sheets lined with wax paper.

7. Let cool for 30 minutes or until set.

Personal Notes:
Wait until it is at a constant boil.

Be sure to boil for exactly 1 minute and 15 seconds. Otherwise you end up with a very dry mixture that results in crumbling cookies.

The second secret may seem silly, but it holds true every time – Do not make these cookies when it is raining outside.

The change in the atmosphere pressure does something that causes the cookie mixture to fail to set properly. Sounds crazy, but it’s not worth the risk.
