👑Some people refer to these cookies as no-bake cookies or mud pies but I grew up knowing it to be called an oatmeal cookie. Just making these cookies brings back so many memories of my momma. This traditional and old-school recipe came straight from her cookbook and I am sharing it with you because I don’t want her or her recipes to be forgotten. Quick, easy and sweet: that’s what makes it the best recipe!

In a pot bring to a boil the butter, milk, cocoa and sugar for about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the oatmeal, peanut butter and vanilla. Blend thoroughly. By the spoonful drop onto wax paper (mine were a little larger than a spoonful so it made the cookies bigger). Let it cool or refrigerate.
