Name That Cookie

I think most of us have probably had these cookies -- or a variation -- at least once in our lives. Both Spouse Guy and I had them lots of times growing up. They are a candy/cookie hybrid that we always called No Bake Cookies or Refrigerator cookies. They are a mix of butter, milk, and cocoa, peanut butter, vanilla and oats, cooked on top of the stove and dropped by spoonfuls onto parchment or waxed paper, then chilled until they have set.

Does anyone know if they have a name other than No Bake Cookies?

Regardless of their name, you can call them fun, easy and good!
