Combine Sugar, Butter, Margarine, and Milk:
- In a large pan over medium heat, combine the sugar, butter, margarine, and milk.
-
Boil Mixture:
- Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly to ensure the sugar is completely dissolved.
-
Boil for 1 Minute:
- Once the mixture reaches a rolling boil, let it cook for 1 minute. Keep stirring continuously to prevent burning.
-
Remove from Heat:
- After 1 minute of boiling, remove the pan from the heat source. Be cautious as the mixture will be extremely hot.
-
Add Remaining Ingredients:
- Quickly add the quick oats, peanut butter, and vanilla extract to the hot mixture in the pan.
-
Mix Well:
- Stir the ingredients vigorously until everything is well combined and forms a smooth, uniform mixture.
-
Form Cookies:
- Using a tablespoon, drop the mixture by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Space them apart to allow for spreading as they cool.
-
Let Set:
- Allow the cookies to set at room temperature. They will firm up as they cool and do not require baking.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the cookies have cooled and set, serve them to your delightfully surprised guests or enjoy them yourself with a cup of milk or hot cocoa.
