No Bake Cookies
Easy-to-make cookies using peanut butter, cocoa powder, and rolled oats.
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 stick butter (unsalted)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 3 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned or instant)
- 1 cup peanut butter (smooth)
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 large pinch kosher salt
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment.
- Bring the sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let boil for 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Add the peanut butter, vanilla, salt, and oats. Stir to combine.
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, and let sit at room temperature until cooled and hardened, about 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
Old-fashioned rolled oats make the cookies a bit chewier than instant rolled oats do.
