Carlas Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 stick Butter Or Margarine
• 1 cup Milk
• 3 cups Sugar
• 1- 1/2 Tablespoon Vanilla
• 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
• 3 cups Oats
• Quick Cooking

Instructions

1. In a 3-quart saucepan, using the stick of butter, wipe around insides and in the bottom of the pan, then put what is left into the pan.
2. (This keeps the sugar from crystalizing.
3. I use this hint when I am making fudge, too.)
4. Put the pan with butter on low heat and add the milk and the sugar.
5. Stir well.
6. When sugar and butter are melted, bring heat to medium high and bring to a full boil.
7. This should take 4-5 minutes.
8. Stir and boil for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes (see note below).
9. Remove from heat and add vanilla and peanut butter, stir until well blended, then add oats and quickly stir and mix well.
10. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper and let cool until you cant keep from eating them.
11. Makes 5 dozen cookies, 2 cookies per serving.
12. Well, it should be, but once you taste them, it might become 3 or 4 per serving!
13. Note: boiling for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes gives you a softer cookie.
14. Boil 2-3 minutes for a firmer cookie.
15. This is my recipe, but you can easily use your own favorite chocolate version.
16. All you have to do is leave out the cocoa powder that your recipe calls for and add extra peanut butter, about an extra 1/3 1/2 cup.
