Chocolate Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies
Chocolate Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies are a cookie from my childhood. They are so easy to make, and very chocolatey and delicious.
Servings: 18 cookies
Ingredients
- 3 cups Oats (old fashioned or quick is fine)
- ½ cup Butter, unsalted
- 2 cups Sugar
- Pinch of Salt
- ¼ cup Cocoa Powder
- ½ cup Milk
- ½ cup Peanut Butter
- 1 ½ tsps Vanilla
Instructions
- Have all of your ingredients measured out and ready to go before you begin. Also have a parchment lined baking pan or other surface ready for the cookies to be scooped onto.
- Measure the oats into a large mixing bowl and set them aside.
- In a large sauce pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Whisk in the sugar until dissolved.
- Whisk in the salt, cocoa powder, milk, and peanut butter. Whisk continuously until the mixture smooths out.
- Stir frequently over medium heat starting to simmer.
- The mixture will eventually come to a roiling boil, with the bubbles all throughout, and will keep boiling as you stir. When that happens, set a timer for 3 minutes, stirring frequently, scraping the sides of the pan.
- When the timer goes off, take the pan off of the heat and stir in the vanilla. It might bubble up a little, but that's okay. Just stir it in.
- Immediately pour the chocolate mixture over the oats and mix until all of the oats are coated with the chocolate.
- Using an ice cream scoop, immediately scoop the cookies onto the parchment lined baking sheet. Don't press them. They should be warm enough that they will flatten out a little bit.
- Allow the cookies to cool fully before enjoying. It takes about 25 minutes.
- Store in an air tight container.
