The woman who gave me this recipe claims these are "healthy" cookies. Personally, I don't see it...but they sure are TASTY! Very addictive! I store them in the freezer. Follows the recipe just as it was given to me:
Boil together for 3 minutes:
1 c. white sugar (cane preferably)
1 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. butter/margerine
1/2 c. cocoa
Remove from heat and add:
1 tsp. vanilla
4 c. oats
1/2 c. oatmeal bran
OR
3 c. oats
1 c. oatmeal bran
1 c. walnuts
Moving quickly:
-Stir in vanilla and oak mix
-Use two spoons to drop onto cookie sheets
-Put in fridge to cool
-Seal in container
-Store in fridge or freezer for freshness
1/2 cup milk
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
3 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup chopped nuts
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix sugar, butter, cocoa, and milk in a large saucepan. Boil for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add peanut butter. Stir until blended. Add rolled oats, nuts, vanilla, and salt. Put into 8"x8" square pan and chill. Cut into squares.
