No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oat Cookies

I'm a complete failure today at low carb.  I saw these cookies posted on Facebook a few weeks ago.  I wanted to make them the second I saw the recipe (I have a weak spot for chocolate & peanut butter) but I have been trying to be "good" and eat healthy, low calorie, low carb foods to get ready for summer.  My daughter had a playdate today and of course I used that as an excuse to finally try this cookie recipe.  They taste like little clusters of peanut butter fudge goodness and I can't stop eating them!  This is a perfect cookie recipe for the summer because you don't even have to turn on your oven ...that's right, no baking required!

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup butter or margarine
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup milk
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
pinch of salt
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups quick cooking oats

Add the first five ingredients to a 4 quart sauce pan.  Bring to a rapid boil.  Let boil for one minute.  Remove from heat.  Stir in peanut butter, vanilla and oats.  Drop by spoonful onto a wax paper or parchment paper lined cookie sheet.  (I sprinkled a little sea salt on mine)  Allow to cool for 30 minutes.  Store in an airtight container.  Makes 36-48 cookies depending on what size you make them (1-2 tablespoons per cookie).  I made half a batch and used a 1 tablespoon sized scoop and it made 24 cookies. Also, I didn't have quick cooking oats and substituted old fashioned oats and they worked fine.
