I couldn't leave Utah without making my son Brandon's favorite cookies. I like to make these because you make them right on top of the stove. That's why they are called "no bake", duh! So try it--you'll like it! (Warning: This does contain peanut butter.)
Brandon's No Bake Cookies
2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
1 stick butter (melted)
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup milk
Bring the above ingredients to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. When it comes to a boil, boil it for 1 minute--continue stirring. Remove from stove and stir in the following:
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 cups quick cooking oatmeal
Drop by tablespoons onto wax paper (I never have wax paper so I just use any kind of plastic wrap.) Let it cool and eat!
