Peanut Butter Free No-Bake Cookies

I found this recipe on RecipeZaar.com, and it is oh so delicious! Mike ended up smothering his cookies with sunbutter (sunflower seed butter), but Ben and I thought they were great by themselves.

2 cups granulated sugar
8 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup milk (I used 2%)
1/3 cup baking cocoa (I used Hershey's)
3 cups gluten free oats (quick or old fashioned*, uncooked)**

1 - In large saucepan, combine sugar, butter, milk and cocoa. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Continue boiling 3 minutes, stirring frequently.

2 - Remove from heat. Stir in oats.* Drop by tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper. Let stand until firm. Store tightly covered.

3 - Makes about 3 dozen.

4 - *If using old fashioned oats, cool mixture in saucepan 5 minutes.

** We most commonly use Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Oats.
