Ingredients

cooking spray
2 cups white sugar
0.5 cup milk
0.25 cup margarine
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 cups quick-cooking oats
0.5 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying it with cooking spray.
In a saucepan, mix together sugar, milk, margarine, and cocoa powder. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently, and cook for 1 minute. Take the saucepan off the heat and mix in the oats, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Drop spoonfuls (about 1 tablespoon each) of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet to form cookies. Allow the cookies to sit until they are cool and firm, approximately 30 minutes.
