These sound great, but I was hoping for Chocolate Oatmeal cookies, like with some cocoa, rather than oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips added.

Beat butter, sugar and brown sugar until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla. Combine flour, cocoa, soda and salt; add to butter mixture. Stir in oatmeal. Bake at 350 degrees F for 11-12 minutes or until set. Don't overbake!

Melt butter, add evaporated milk, sugar, and cocoa. Stir to mix well. Let come to a boil, cook for exactly 90 seconds. Remove from heat, add vanilla ( will hiss and sputter a bit at first); then add peanut butter. Stir to let peanut butter melt; add oats. Remove from heat, drop by rounded spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Let harden for 15 - 20 minutes, and hide a few for later, because if everyone starts eating, there won't be any left for later. :)
