Description

Delicious and easy-to-make Chocolate No Bake Cookies that combine rich cocoa, creamy peanut butter, and hearty oats for a quick treat without the need for an oven. Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth with minimal effort and ingredients.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups oats

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk

Others

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Mix: Add the oats, peanut butter, and vanilla extract to a medium-sized bowl and set aside while you prepare the chocolate mixture.
  2. Cook Chocolate Mixture: In a saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and milk. Stir constantly over medium heat until the mixture reaches a boiling point. Then, reduce the heat to low and maintain a rolling boil for 3 minutes to ensure proper thickness and flavor development.
  3. Combine and Mix: Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly add the oat mixture from the bowl into the chocolate mixture. Stir thoroughly and quickly to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  4. Form Cookies: Using a spoon, drop portions of the cookie mixture onto wax paper laid out on a flat surface.
  5. Cool and Set: Allow the cookies to cool completely at room temperature so they can set and hold their shape before enjoying.

Notes

  • Use quick oats or old-fashioned oats; avoid instant oats for best texture.
  • Make sure to boil the chocolate mixture for a full 3 minutes to get the right consistency.
  • Wax paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
  • Peanut butter can be substituted with almond butter or sunflower seed butter for allergy variations.
