Nanny's No Bakes

Well, these are the absolute best cookies.  They are easily prepared, they are fast and are gone even faster!   I had a recipe I used a few times, but your Nanny's recipe is the best.  Only the best for my kids!  So hats off to Lynn Knechtel "Nanny's" No Bakes!

1/2 cup butter
2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 cups quick cooking oats
1 cup chopped nuts (Optional)

In very large sauce pan, melt butter, add sugar, cocoa, evaporated milk, salt and vanilla.  Bring to a rolling boil for a minute.  Turn off the heat and immediately add peanut butter and oats.  Mix quickly and spoon large tablespoons of batter onto waxed paper.  Enjoy!

If you want to kick this up a notch, replace the vanilla with Almond Extract and then top each cookie (while still warm) with 1/2 of a maraschino cherry!.............
