Easy No Bake Cookies
Chocolate peanut butter no bake oatmeal cookies.
Yields 32 cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, (1 stick) cut into Tablespoons
- 1 ½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup (20 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup (118 ml) milk, whole or 2% preferred
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup (88 g) creamy peanut butter, like Jif or Skippy
- 3 cups (240 g) quick oats
Instructions
- Line two trays with wax or parchment paper. Set aside.
- Combine the butter, sugar, brown sugar, cocoa, milk, and salt in a 3-quart medium saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it reaches a full boil.
- Allow mixture to boil for 1 minute without stirring. (Set a timer!)
- Remove from heat and add the vanilla and peanut butter. Stir until smooth.
- Add the oats and stir until well combined.
- Use a #40 cookie scoop (about 1 1/2 Tbsp) or two spoons to drop mixture onto the lined cookie sheets. Work quickly. May flatten cookies slightly with the back of the scoop/spoon, if needed.
- Allow cookies to rest at room temperature until set. About 20-30 minutes. May refrigerate to set up quicker.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days. If the room is particularly warm, you may want to put a piece of wax or parchment paper between the layers of cookies so they don’t melt together
