O,T. Easy Recipe For No-Bake Peanut Butter Cookies

This has got to  be the easiest, quickest cookie recipe on the face of the earth.  Another plus is that in this hot weather we're all having, you don't have to heat up the house by using an oven to cook these cookies!  Here ya go:






Recipe:  No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies


In a heavy sauce pan, mix:
1/2 cup milk
2 C sugar
Cook on high heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to boil.  Boil for one minute, stirring constantly.  Remove from heat.  (that's all the cooking you will have to do)


Add:
1 Tbsp vanilla
1 C peanut butter (I used creamy but chunky would be great too)
3 C quick cook oatmeal

Mix together well.
Roll into 1 " balls or you can drop by the teaspoonful onto waxed paper or parchment paper.
It only takes one cookie sheet as you can place the cookies close to each other, they will not be spreading at all.

My daughter likes them best when they're still warm.  When cool they have a fudgy quality that is very good - and somewhat good for you too.  ;-)
