Yum, Yum, Yum..... These No Bake Cookies are one of my absolute favorite treats. They are so easy to make.  I have a childhood friend's mom to thank for this addiction.  She used coca in her recipe but I love keeping them purely peanut butter cookies.  So if you like peanut butter and don't mind a good sugar rush this recipe is one you should try.  Just be warned they will throw a diet out the window.  But every once in awhile can't hurt, right? ;)

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of butter, 1/2 cup of peanut butter, 3 cups of oatmeal, 1 1/2 tsp of vanilla

Directions: 

Combine sugar, milk, and butter in a medium sauce pan

Bring mixture to boil and cook for 1 1/2 minutes

Remove mixture from heat

Stir in peanut butter, oatmeal and vanilla

Once ingredients are fully mixed, take a large spoon and scoop mixture onto a flat surface (plate, baking sheet, wax paper on counter, etc)

Make cookies as large or small as you want.  The sizes of the cookies shown above made 12 cookies from mixture.  

Give them time to set.  I let them set over night.  These will be soft and gooey no matter how long you let them sit.  

Enjoy!!
