Going through elementary school, I always loved it when the lunch menu noted that these cookies were going to be served that day. I can't remember what they were called then, I just call them "Schoolhouse Cookies". I don't believe they make them in school anymore.
Schoolhouse Cookies
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 to 3/4 cup milk
1 cup sugar
3 cups oats
1/2 cup peanut butter
In large saucepan, combine butter, cocoa, milk and sugar. Start with the smaller amount of milk, and if the cookies are too dry in the second step, add a little heated milk. Bring this to a rolling boil for about a minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl measure in oats and peanut butter. Stir in cocoa mixture and mix thoroughly. Let cool slightly and then drop by spoonfuls on waxed paper. After they have completely cooled, store in airtight container to prevent drying out.
