2. Combine Sugar, Butter, Margarine, and Milk:

   • In a large pan over medium heat, combine the sugar, butter, margarine, and milk.

3. Boil Mixture:

   • Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly to ensure the sugar is completely dissolved.

4. Boil for 1 Minute:

   • Once the mixture reaches a rolling boil, let it cook for 1 minute. Keep stirring continuously to prevent burning.

5. Remove from Heat:

   • After 1 minute of boiling, remove the pan from the heat source. Be cautious as the mixture will be extremely hot.

6. Add Remaining Ingredients:

   • Quickly add the quick oats, peanut butter, and vanilla extract to the hot mixture in the pan.

7. Mix Well:

   • Stir the ingredients vigorously until everything is well combined and forms a smooth, uniform mixture.

8. Form Cookies:

   • Using a tablespoon, drop the mixture by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Space them apart to allow for spreading as they cool.

9. Let Set:

   • Allow the cookies to set at room temperature. They will firm up as they cool and do not require baking.

10. 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.
