Description

Indulge in these easy and delicious no-bake chocolate peanut butter oatmeal cookies. Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without turning on the oven!


Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups quick-cooking oats


Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder. Stir frequently until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a full rolling boil.
  2. Boil for exactly 1 minute, then remove from heat. Immediately stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until fully blended.
  3. Add the oats and mix until completely coated. Drop the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet into rounded mounds.
  4. Let the cookies cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or until fully set.

Notes

  • For a chunkier texture, substitute old-fashioned oats for quick oats.
  • You can also add 1/2 cup shredded coconut or chopped nuts for variety.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
