Cowboy Cookies

These are called Missouri Cookies in the first ward cookbook. We call them cowboy cookies, because they aren't baked, and would be something coming from the chuck wagon as a treat. 

Cowboy Cookies
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
3 Tbsp cocoa
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 cups quick cooking oats
1 tsp vanilla
pinch salt
Combine sugar, butter, cocoa, and milk in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cook 2 minutes at a rolling boil. Remove from heat. Add peanut butter, salt, vanilla, and oats. Stir well. Quickly drop spoonfuls onto wax paper. Cool.
