Peanut Butter Milk Dud Cookies

I jotted this recipe down on a little scrap of paper one day when visiting my MIL. I think it might have been out of a Taste Of Home magazine but I'm not positive.
Anyways, I finally got around to making them this weekend and they were pretty good. They taste like a peanut butter cookie with a chewy caramel center.
*Ever notice that most of my recipes contain chocolate or peanut butter or both.*
