Description
Delicious no-bake cookies made with chocolate, peanut butter, and oats.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup butter (softened or cut into slices)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups quick cooking oats
Instructions
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Gather all ingredients and have them measured out. Once you start making the cookies, it goes quickly and you’ll need to work relatively quickly!
- Add the sugar, butter, milk, cocoa powder and salt to a large saucepan.
- Place the saucepan on a burner over low heat until the butter is melted, stirring frequently.
- Turn the heat up to medium and bring the mixture to a boil. Boil for 1 minute – be sure to set a timer; you don’t want to overcook this mixture!
- Remove from the heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla and then the oats.
- Scoop the cookies onto the prepared sheet pan (I use a #40 size cookie scoop).
- Let cool completely (refrigerate to speed up the process) before removing from the parchment paper and storing in an airtight container on the counter or in the refrigerator.
Notes
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
- For a firmer cookie, refrigerate them after preparing.
