Xan
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
1 cup sugar
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 1/2 cups oatmeal
1. Spread several sheets of wax paper across a table or other flat surface.
2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, milk, sugar, and cocoa powder. Bring contents to a boil, stirring occasionally. Boil for one minute, then remove from the stove and set aside.
3. Add the peanut butter and oatmeal to the melted mixture, stirring well.
4. Drop teaspoons of the mixture onto the wax paper and allow the cookies to cool for 15 minutes or so.
You can substitute 1/2 cup of pureed raisins for 1/2 cup of the sugar (and make the other half brown or turbinado).
You can add 1/4 cup wheat bran and/or flaxseed.
