No-Bake Peanut Butter Cookies
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.
Ingredient
-
3 cups white sugar
-
¾ cup butter
-
¾ cup milk
-
1 ½ cups peanut butter
-
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
-
4 ½ cups quick-cooking oats
Direction
-

Drop batter by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper. Let cool until set.
