Ingredients

- ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions
-
Measure the peanut butter, oats, vanilla, salt and chopped nuts into a large mixing bowl. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan, place sugar, cocoa powder, butter, and evaporated milk. Cook on medium heat, stirring often, until mixture comes to a boil. Boil ingredients for 1 minute. Immediately remove sauce from heat and pour over peanut butter/oat mixture in mixing bowl. Stir well, to fully melt peanut butter and combine all ingredients.

Place a piece of wax or parchment paper on a 9x13 baking sheet. Drop batter by rounded spoonfuls onto paper (Use 2 spoons... one to scoop, and the back of the other to scoop/drop cookies onto paper). See NOTES section for tip.

Place baking sheet (uncovered) into refrigerator, and refrigerate for an hour so they can set up. Enjoy! Store chocolate oaties in a covered container in refrigerator.
Recipe Notes
I used a rounded Tablespoon batter for each cookie (yielded 31, 2-3" wide cookies).
If you want more cookies, simply make them smaller by using a rounded teaspoon!
