Description
Rich, chewy no bake cookies made with the classic combination of chocolate and peanut butter, quick to make with simple pantry staples and no oven required.
Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3/4 cup peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups quick-cooking oats
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and butter.
- Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Boil for exactly 1 minute, continuing to stir.
- Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Fold in the oats until evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto wax paper or a silicone mat.
- Let cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, until firm.
Notes
- For allergy-friendly variation, substitute almond or sunflower seed butter.
- Add shredded coconut or chopped nuts for extra texture.
- Sprinkle with sea salt for a sweet-salty balance.
- Use quick oats for best texture; old-fashioned oats can make cookies chewier.
