No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies

  One of my favorite culinary combinations is peanut butter and chocolate. These cookies are pretty easy to make, need relatively few ingredients, and taste delicious!

•           2 cups sugar
•         ½ cup milk
•        ½ cup butter or margarine (1 stick)
•        1 teaspoon vanilla
•        1 cup peanut butter
•       3 cups dry oatmeal

Put sugar, milk and butter into saucepan and stir over medium heat. Bring to boil for one minute stirring constantly. Add the vanilla, peanut butter and oatmeal, and combine thoroughly. Let cool about 10 minutes then spoon onto wax paper. 

If you want to make the chocolate drizzle I melted about a 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in the microwave (make sure you watch them so they don't burn, burnt chocolate is a crime!). Then I spooned it into a little ziplock baggie and cut the tip off to imitate an icing bag!
