I was out of brown sugar but craving cookies with oatmeal in them and found this recipe for no-bake cookies on Amber's blog. So easy to make but beware, they are SERIOUSLY addictive. We got about 3 dozen cookies out of this recipe and they were gone faster than any cookies I've ever made before. I've posted the recipe here with the changes I made, I used chunky peanut butter and added some coconut, delish! Check out Amber's original recipe for other recommendations on add ins.

2 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup flaked coconut
Directions:
- Line 2 large baking sheets with wax paper, parchment paper, or alum. foil and set aside.
- Combine sugar, butter, milk, and cocoa in large saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a rolling boil. Remove from heat and cool 1 minute.
- Add peanut butter and stir until melted. Add oats, vanilla, peanuts and coconut (if desired) and mix well.

These are our favorite cookies (my grandma has made these for years), especially in the summer-it doesn't heat up the house! I will have to make these again soon.
Oh yes, these are soo addictive! Once you start you just can't stop. I am glad you enjoyed them.
