No Bake Cookies
🍫 No Bake Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 Tbsp cocoa
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ lb (1 stick) butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 3 cups oatmeal
Instructions
In a saucepan, combine 2 cups sugar, 4 Tbsp cocoa, ½ cup milk, and ¼ lb butter.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute.
Remove from heat immediately.
Stir in 1 tsp vanilla, ½ cup peanut butter, and 3 cups oatmeal until well combined.
Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper or a silicone mat.
Let cool and set at room temperature (about 30 minutes).
Tips
- The 1-minute boil is critical—too short and cookies won’t set, too long and they’ll be dry and crumbly.
- Work quickly once you add the oats; the mixture sets fast.
- Use quick oats for smoother texture, old-fashioned for more chew.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
