No Bake Cookies (basically a nugget of joy)

No Bake Cookies 
(basically a nugget of joy - all peanut butter version)

2 cups sugar
1 stick butter
1/2 cup milk

Mix in a saucepan and boil for one minute.  Remove from heat and mix in:

1 cup peanut butter (I use a heaping cup, a little less than 1 1/2)
1 tablespoon vanilla
31/2 cups oatmeal

When cooled a bit and mixed well, mix in:
1 C white chocolate chips

Scoop with an ice cream scoop or rounded Tablespoon onto parchment lined cookie sheet. Let cool (if you can wait that long) and enjoy.

Traditional Chocolate Peanut Butter No Bakes
2 cups sugar
4 tablespoons cocoa
1 stick butter
1/2 cup milk

Mix in a saucepan and boil for one minute.  Remove from heat and mix in:

1 cup peanut butter (the more the merrier...see above)
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 cups oatmeal

Make drop cookies on parchment lined cookie sheet. Let cool and enjoy.

**Fun to add in different things....
** So Josie and I wanted to mess around today and decided to honor Tru's request he yelled as he was running out the door for school...."Can you make the peanut butter nuggets?" So we did and decided to get creative.  I measured the batter and it was about 4 cups. Taking out a cup of batter at a time, I added in about 1/4 C - 1/2 C of either marshmallows, butterscotch chips, white chocolate and m&m's.  I LOVE the butterscotch and Josie is lovin' the m&m's.  We'll see what's Tru's fave when he gets home!
