C is for Cookie

So I may have just discovered the most perfect chocolate cookie.  It happened because I ran out of oats...I am addicted to chocolate no-bake cookies.  So since I knew I didn't have much time before the kids woke up I thought I would see what happened if I just omitted the oatmeal.  Perfection.

Here is the recipe (as I haven't seen this out there)...it takes about 5 minutes.

1/4c butter
1 cup sugar
1/4c cocoa (powdered)
1/4 c milk (best success is when you use just shy of a quarter cup)
1/4c peanut butter
1/4tsp vanilla

1. Mix your butter, sugar, cocoa and milk together until it starts to boil. 
2. Remove from heat.
3. Add vanilla and peanut butter.
4. Stir until combined
5. Drop onto wax paper (or parchment paper)...about the size of oreos

That's it.  They take about 10 minutes to harden completely...although you can always stick them in the fridge to make it happen quicker.  Or you can do what I do and just eat some of the unhardened goo while you wait for the cookies to set.
NOTE: the recipe also doubles and half's really well.
