No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies Recipe
No oven is needed to make these cookies - so why not ‘no-bake’ some right now?
Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
Ingredients
□ 2 cups granulated sugar
□ 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
□ 1 stick or 1/4 cup or 4 ounces butter
□ 1/2 cup milk
□ 1 tablespoon vanilla flavoring or vanilla extract
□ 1 cup smooth or crunchy peanut butter
□ 3 cups regular rolled oats or old-fashioned oatmeal or quick-cooking oatmeal
□ waxed paper or lightly greased cookie sheet
Directions
1. Combine the sugar, cocoa, butter, and milk in a heavy saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat for 1 minute.
2. Remove from heat and add the vanilla, peanut butter, and oatmeal.
3. Working quickly, drop the mixture by the teaspoonful onto waxed paper.
4. Allow the cookies to completely cool and harden before removing them from the waxed paper.
The cookie mixture can be measured with one teaspoon, and a second teaspoon can be used to push the mixture out of the first teaspoon and onto the waxed paper. The recipe can be adjusted: if the cookies come out too thin or too thick, try changing the amount of oats; experiment by adding in small amounts of different ingredients such as chopped nuts or shredded coconut.
