- Before you start, cut about a 20 inch piece of wax paper. Lay it on the counter. This serves as something to drop the cookies on.
- In a saucepan, mix milk, sugar, and butter.
- Bring to a boil.
- Boil 1 minute. (For high altitude, let them cook 30 seconds to a minute longer.)
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in peanut butter, vanilla, and nuts.
- Mix until peanut butter is mixed in.
- Add oatmeal.
- Drop by spoonfuls on the wax paper.
- Let cool until set.
This process must be done a little quickly because the cookies start hardening pretty fast.
