HAMBURGER COOKIES

1 stick butter

2 c. sugar

1/2 c. milk

1/4 c. cocoa

1/2 c. peanut butter

3 c. quick oatmeal 

Bring butter, sugar, milk and cocoa to a boil.  Remove from heat and add peanut butter.  Pour this mixture into a large mixing bowl containing oatmeal; stir to mix all ingredients.  Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper and cool.  The cookies will look just like little hamburgers.

These are the only cookies I remember my mother making, other than chocolate chip.  And why not!  No baking required and the ingredients are always on hand.  We came up with the rather misleading name the first time we saw them cooling on wax paper.  Who knew they would really be good for you, as cookies go, with all that oatmeal!
