cookies
Chocolate Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies are perfect when you want something sweet without using the oven! Made with rich chocolate, peanut butter, and oats, they're classic crowd-pleasing cookies!
Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 cups rolled oats not quick oats
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Prepare two baking sheets by lining them each with a sheet of parchment.
- Place the sugar, butter, milk, and cocoa powder in a medium saucepan. While stirring occasionally, bring to a boil over medium heat. Once you see the bubbles consistently forming around the edge of the pan, boil for 1 minute only. *See Note.
- Remove the pan from the heat and mix in the oats, peanut butter, vanilla and salt.
- Using a #60 cookie scoop or two teaspoonsful, place dough onto the prepared baking sheets. The dough will not spread very much and will thicken as it cools. Allow cookies to set for about 30 minutes, until hardened and cooled. Store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
Once you see the small bubbles forming consistently around the out side of the pan, use a timer to boil for 1 minute and 1 minutes only!
- Boiling for longer will cause the cookies to crumble.
- Also, if you do not boil the mixture long enough, the sugar may not completely dissolve and the cookies could have a grainy consistency.
