Never Fail No-Bake Fudge Oatmeal Cookies

From California Gold: Calfironai State Grange cookbook. Gifted to me by Grandma Darlene in 1993, though I did not discover this recipe until a few years ago. Oh so good, and unlike other "no-bake" cookies I have tried, this one ALWAYS sets up and isn't too dry.

Fudge-Oatmeal Cookies
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup baking coca
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter or margarine
2 cups quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine sugar, baking cocoa, milk and butter in saucepan. Bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in oats, peanut butter and vanilla. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper. Let stand until cool.

Tips & tricks:
None. It is perfect. Just be sure to watch the time you boil it. Not enough and it won't work right, too much and it won't work right. They set up quite fast and are AMAZING!

Made these last week - actually I made Joshua do most of the work...pulled out my grange cookbook and whipped them up. Told him I wouldn't have survived college without these cookies. Plus I think you sent me some in the MTC too.
