Ingredients needed to make No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies:

2 cups sugar
1 stick butter
1/2 cup milk
1/4 tsp salt (optional)

1/2 cup peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp almond extract

3 cups old fashion oats

Preparation Instructions:

Combine sugar, butter, salt and milk in a pot and bring to boil. Allow mixture to boil for one minute and add peanut butter, almond extract and vanilla and blend well.

Stir in oats and use a spoon to drop the mixture onto wax paper to cool.

Optional:

Cocoa can be added to the sugar for a chocolaty taste. You could also add some chopped nuts or coconut when you add the oats. If you add nuts or coconut, add just a little extra milk to the mixture.
