The *kinda* healthy cookie

Recently I've been on a healthy streak. Exercising, eating better, that whole thing. The only problem with eating healthier, is that you miss out on all the yummy stuff that is terrible for you! So, I researched different cookies and put together different recipes to make this super simple "cookie" that is done in under 10 minutes. Now, the reason I say "cookie", is because the texture and consistency of this little confection is so dense and gooey, it's more like fudge. Brett, my hubby, and I have been eating these like they could never be made again! 

Ingredients:
1/4 C. + 2 Tbsp. Olive oil
2 C. Brown sugar
1/2 C. Skim milk
4 Tbsp. Cocoa
1/2 C. Smooth peanut butter
3 C. Old-fashion oats
2 Tsp. Vanilla extract


Mix together the olive oil, brown sugar, milk, and cocoa in a large pot, on the stove, over high heat; stir occasionally to avoid sticking. Once these ingredients start to boil, continue to stir occasionally, and allow to boil for one minute. After the chocolatey goodness has boiled, turn off heat and stir in the peanut butter, oats, and vanilla. Allow the mix to sit for about 5 minutes, or until thickened a bit. Scoop out servings with a tablespoon onto an un-greased cookie sheet (you may need two cookie sheets) Allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container, in the refrigerator.  Enjoy!
