Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cookies


Bryn, Paige, Logan, and I all entered the oatmeal cookie contest at the Bannock County Fair this week. Logan was the only one to get a ribbon and he got first place with this recipe. I did the measuring and Logan dumped all the ingredients together and did much of the stirring and spooning onto the waxed paper. He did so great!!!

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup cocoa
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups quick oats

Combine the first 4 ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring often (or constantly so it doesn't burn). Remove from heat and add peanut butter and vanilla, stirring to dissolve. Stir in quick oats, mix well. Spoon onto waxed paper and let cool to set up. (We used a cookie scoop so the cookies would be as similar in size and shape as Logan could get them).
