Mom's Missouri Cookies

  • 1 stick of butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 4 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups rolled oats (Quick cooking oats are best but I used regular because I had them.)
Add the first five ingredients to a 4 qt. sauce pan. Bring to a boil, stirring. Boil for 1 minute.

Pour oats into a large bowl. Pour chocolate mixture in with oats and give it a good stir.

Place heaping tablespoons of batter onto wax paper like so. Place into the fridge for several hours to allow cookies to set.
