• 4 cups flour

• 1 tsp. vanilla

Directions

Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes. Let cool and frost.

Frosting: Heat to a boil 1/4 cup milk and 1 Tbsp. margarine or butter. Remove from heat and stir in 1 lb. powdered sugar, 2 Tbsp. peanut butter and 1 tsp. vanilla.

If frosting starts to set up while you are frosting the cookies, add just a touch of milk until you get the consistency again. The frosting is what really makes these cookies. And don't forget to have one with that next cup of coffee or big glass of milk. Betcha can't eat just one!
