No-Bake Cookies, with a twist


This might just be my new summer cookie! Chocolate. Peanut butter. Oats. Coconut. A perfect combination! Maybe y'all have made these before, but I've never made the peanut butter variety until this week and let me tell you, they are bliss!

It's almost our basic recipe--here it is with the few changes.

1 3/4 cup sugar
1 cube butter
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 Tablespoons cocoa
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup coconut
3 cups oats (I used old-fashioned regular)

Stir sugar, butter and milk in a saucepan over medium heat till butter melts and everything is combined. Boil for 1 minute (keep stirring). Turn off heat. Add peanut butter, stirring well to make it creamy. Add cocoa and vanilla and stir till it's all blended in. Add coconut and oats, stirring just to combine. Scoop out onto a cookie sheet and try to wait until they are "set" before eating them.
