So this is my recipe for no-bake cookies--LOL. It's actually out of a church cookbook from 20 years ago, or longer. Sadly, I am not one of those organized recipe people, and most of my recipes look something like this. As you can see, there are really no directions to the recipe.
Heat first 4 ingredients on stove, bringing to boil. Let rapid boil 1 minute (no shorter, no longer).
Here's where the recipe gets a little fuzzy.....I just scoop out a spoonful of creamy and spoonful of crunchy peanut butter and throw it in. Its probably more than a 1/2 cup total, but who really knows. The teaspoon vanilla is usually overflowing. The oats (only use Quaker--in desperation I was stuck buying Great Value oats one time---so not the same!) just pour in the pan until it reaches the consistency you desire.
Scoop onto wax paper and let air dry. If I only had a dollar for every time I've made a batch....hmmm...
I know what you mean about recipes being on scraps of paper. I had a newspaper recipe for rice pudding that sounded divine. I made it one time while we were living in C'ville. It was the best rice pudding I had ever had. I put the recipe in a safe place and it's still safe because I have never been able to find it. To make matters worse, I've never been able to find a rice pudding recipe since then that even came close. Arggh! It taught me a lesson to try to keep all my recipes together. Notice I used the word try. I still struggle with it but I have hope that I'll get it together someday.
