Boiled Cookies

Despite their unappetizing name, these are cookies that my grandmother has been making for a long time. They're not baked, but boiled. They're super-easy, really, and a yummy (and different) treat.

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
3 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 stick butter or margarine (my grandmother's recipe calls for "oleo"... anyone remember that?)
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 cups of oats
1 cup of chopped pecans

Mix sugar, milk, cocoa and butter. Boil for one minute, then remove from stove. Add peanut butter, oats and pecans. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto wax paper and allow to cool. Enjoy!!!
