Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies

In a large saucepan, combine:
1/2 C. milk
2 C. sugar (I tried to reduce this by 1/2 a cup, and they didn't set up as well, so I guess, like it or not, you gotta go for the whole sh-bang)
1/2 C. butter or margarine
1/8 tsp. salt
Cook on stove until it boils then boil it for one more minute, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat and add:
1 tsp. vanilla
1 C. peanut butter
Stir until smooth.

Add:
3 C. oatmeal--we  like the old fashioned kind
Stir until all the oatmeal is coated.

Let the mixture cool for a bit; it will start to set up as it cools.
Drop by whatever size cookie you like onto wax paper or baking parchment.  Let them cool.  They're very sweet, but ooooh so good.
