No Bake Cookies for a Blue Monday

Every 'Blue Monday' calls for a sweet treat.
Do you remember those cookies we all made it Home-Ec? Just a hand-full of ingredients (that you probably have in the pantry) and you can have cookies in just a few minutes. I tried using Steel Cut Oats ~ in a effort to make them a touch healthier.

Chocolate Steel Cut Cookies

2 cups sugar

4 tablespoons cocoa

1 stick butter

1/2 cup milk

1 cup peanut butter

1 tablespoon vanilla

2 cups oatmeal

1 cup steel cut oats

Waxed paper

In a heavy saucepan bring to a boil, the sugar, cocoa, butter and milk. Let boil for 1 minute then add peanut butter; stirring until smooth. Remove from the heat. Stir in vanilla and oatmeal. On a sheet of waxed paper, drop mixture by the teaspoonfuls. Let them sit until they are cooled.

The steel oats are nuttier, still yummy.
