these cookies are one of our family’s favourites.
my papa and i would make them together, hot gooey mess of melted chocolate, peanut butter, and oats. some batches so perfectly perfect, and some that never stood up- so you’d eat off a spoon, still perfectly perfectly yum
our recipe is hand written by my great grandmother, her scrawl so light and beautifully slanted- an elegance and ease. an art. a little yellowed piece of paper in a book of family recipes- splattered with marks of goodness being made. (the recipe is also found all over the internet, there’s some variations- but this one is absolutely divine)
{ingredients}
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 tablespoons cocoa
- 1 stick butter (1/2 cup)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 3 cups oats (quick cooking oats)
- waxed paper
{directions}
in a saucepan, bring the sugar, cocoa, butter and milk to a boil. let boil for one minute and then add the peanut butter (let it melt in), vanilla, and oatmeal. stir stir stir! it’s very hot.. so be careful with little ones helping. drop by the spoonful onto your waxed paper and let cool and harden.
enjoy!
