Best Cookies EVER!! No Bake Cookies

These are the best cookies I have ever eaten, and they are perfect for the summer because you don't have to heat up the house.

INGREDIENTS
2 cups white sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
3 cups quick cooking oats (or regular works, too)


DIRECTIONS
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, cocoa, milk and margarine. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat and stir in the vanilla, salt, peanut butter and oats.
Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Allow cookies to cool for at least 1 hour. Store in an airtight container.

These were being sold in the lobby at a high school play I attended over the weekend. I did try any myself, but I saw kids wrinkling up their noses in disgust ... until they tasted the cookies!
