Chocolate Oatmeal No Bake Cookies (without peanut butter)

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 c sugar
• ½ c butter

  (1 stick - salted)
• ½ c milk
• 4 tablespoon cocoa
• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 c oatmeal

  (use quick oats, not old fashioned or steel cut oats)

Instructions

• 1 Combine the butter, sugar, and milk in a saucepan and bring to a boil over
  medium high to high heat (enough to bring the syrup to a rapid boil). Stir
  frequently to prevent burning or boiling over!
• 2 Once the syrup is at a full rolling boil, stir and cook for 1 minute then remove
  from heat.
• 3 Add the vanilla and cocoa, stir until the syrup is smooth. Add the quick oats
  and stir until evenly coated with the syrup.
• 4 Drop tablespoon sized portions onto waxed paper, use the back of a spoon to make
  cookie shaped (rather than a no bake cookie mound) if desired. Allow to set up
  for one hour.
