No Bake Cookies

This recipe is a favorite in our family. I was introduced to these addictive cookies in college, and this recipe comes from Rebecca's best friend!

2 c sugar
1/2 c milk
1/2 c butter or margarine
3 tbsp cocoa
3 c quick oats
1/3 c peanut butter (optional)
1 tsp vanilla

In a medium saucepan mix sugar, milk, butter and cocoa and bring to a boil. When at full boil, time for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add oats, peanut butter, and vanilla. Mix well. Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper or foil.
