1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup peanut butter

Directions:
Mix together the sugar, shortening, cocoa, milk and salt. Pop it into the microwave and heat at 30 second intervals. Stir in between. When it comes to a rolling boil, add the peanut butter and allow to melt. Add the vanilla. Throw in your dry ingredients, mix up into a nice gooey mess and eat a few mouthfuls of the warm deliciousness.

Drop the remaining by tablespoons onto a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper or tin foil. Pop the cookies into the fridge for approximately two hours, though the longer the better.
