These no-bake peanut butter cookies were always served for school lunch. After marrying, I got the recipe from one of the cooks and have made it many times. This cookie is sometimes made with cocoa powder, but I like this recipe better; it doesn't use any.

Ingredients

3 cups white sugar
0.75 cups butter
0.75 cups milk
1.5 cups peanut butter
0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
4.5 cups quick-cooking oats

Instructions

1

Gather all ingredients.
2

Combine sugar, butter, and milk in a saucepan over medium heat.
3

Bring to a rapid boil and boil for 1 minute.
4

Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla.
5

Mix in oats, stirring until mixture begins to cool. (Transfer mixture to a large bowl if ingredients overflow.)
6

Drop batter by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper.
7

Let cool until set. Serve and enjoy!
