No Bake Oatmeal Cookies


There is much debate in our house about whether or not to add peanut butter. My husband argues that they won't set without the peanut butter but I grew up making them without.  To be sure they set you need to make sure that they come to a full rolling boil before you start timing them. These are so quick and easy and a favorite in our house with or without the peanut butter. Which do you prefer?
