Description
Easy no-bake cookies combining chocolate and peanut butter for a quick, delicious treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup salted butter
- ½ cup milk
- 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups quick-cook oats
Instructions
- Prep your workspace: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside.
- Boil the base: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, butter, milk, and cocoa powder. Stir often as the mixture heats. Once it reaches a full rolling boil, let it boil for exactly 60 seconds, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Add peanut butter and oats: Remove the saucepan from heat immediately. Stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and oats, mixing vigorously until everything is well combined and the peanut butter is fully melted into the mixture.
- Drop and set: Working quickly while the mixture is still hot, drop spoonfuls of the cookie mixture onto the prepared baking sheets using a cookie scoop or spoon. The cookies will start to set as they cool.
- Let harden: Allow the cookies to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until they’re completely cooled and hardened.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- For firmer cookies, refrigerate after cooling.
