Had one of these at a potluck recently, but didn't find out who made them so I could get the recipe. Anyway, they were a sort of chocolate cookie with oats and maybe peanut butter? I'm pretty sure they were no bake.

Sound familiar to anyone?

 
a favorite cookie, one of the first recipes I ever made by myself....

Here is one version...
I remember making these easy little no bake chocolate cookies a lot when I was a teenager. There's just one trick; you have to make sure that the sugar mixture boils hard for at least one minute, otherwise the cookies will be sugary instead of creamy.
You can add other ingredients to this basic recipe. Substitute 1 cup of flaked coconut for 1 cup of the oatmeal. Add some chopped peanuts to the recipe for crunch. Or add some milk chocolate chips after the mixture has cooled slightly.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
•2 cups sugar
•1/2 cup milk
•1/2 cup cocoa
•pinch salt
•1/2 cup butter
•1 cup peanut butter
•3 cups quick-cooking oatmeal
Preparation:
In large saucepan, combine sugar, milk, cocoa, salt, and butter and mix well. Bring to a boil and cover saucepan for 30 seconds to allow steam to wash sugar crystals down sides of pan. Stir mixture and bring it to a boil that can't be stirred down for 1 minute. Then remove from heat and stir in peanut butter until smooth. Add oatmeal and mix well. Do not use regular or instant oatmeal; quick-cooking oatmeal is essential to the success of this recipe.
