This sounds good and almost easy but ironically, I can't make ANY sense of it!? Could this person please explain?
Thanks,

Hi Gaye,

I'm sure Judy in Oklahoma and her family have been enjoying their Peanut Butter Macaroons for so many years she probably knows the recipe by heart.

Perhaps this will help to unravel the mystery. Or, you may want to see the recipe posted by Beverly in the thread below this one.
TBSP is an abbreviation for Tablespoon
Oleo is another name for margarine.
White syrup is Corn Syrup (Usually Karo brand)
I'm guessing "heat to hit" means heat to high (HI) or to bring just to or just below a boiling temperature before removing from heat.
The mixture can either be made into drop cookies or bars. For the cookies, drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper to cool. For bars, spread onto a cookie sheet. Cut into bars as desired.

I hope this is helpful.
