There's a famous chocolate version of no-bake cookies out there that I think just about everyone has tried. While I really like that version as well, there's something about straight peanut butter that makes me choose this recipe almost every time. Of course, I should also mention that I'm a peanut butter-aholic. (Is that a word? It should be.) I love peanut butter. Like, eat-it-straight-off-the-spoon-for-a-snack kind of love.
If you're anything like me (and I know there are others out there!), this is the recipe for you. Even if you just like peanut butter without having a strange love affair with it (ahem.), you'll probably still think these are good.
But be warned: You will most definitely need a big, tall glass of milk with these babies!
No-Bake Peanut Butter Cookies
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup margarine or butter
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup creamy peanut butter
3 cups oatmeal (I prefer the quick oats because they grains are much smaller, but any kind will work)
Spread a piece of wax paper or aluminum foil out on a flat surface. You'll need about 2 feet.
Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Add sugar, milk, and salt and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Boil for exactly one minute, then remove from heat. Add vanilla and peanut butter; stir until smooth. Mix in oatmeal.
Immediately drop in rounded tablespoonfuls on wax paper or foil. Let cool completely and enjoy.

Um, yes, there are others out there like you. Not me, but Brandon. He will come home from work and just eat peanut butter off a spoon. Sometimes he'll sprinkle chocolate chips on the spoonful, but a lot of times it's just p.b.
I'll have to try these on him. :)
