No-Bake Cookies
Description
No-Bake Cookies start by boiling butter, milk, and sugar together, stirring briefly to dissolve and combine. Once boiled for a minute, the heat is removed and cocoa powder, creamy peanut butter, oats, and vanilla extract are stirred in swiftly. The mixture is then scooped onto waxed paper to cool and set.
The final cookies have a chewy texture with rich chocolate and peanut butter flavor. Using old-fashioned oats provides structure and chew; if quick oats are used, reducing the amount slightly helps achieve the right consistency. The recipe requires immediate active stirring and shaping to ensure the mixture sets properly.
These cookies offer a convenient option for a no-oven dessert or snack using accessible ingredients and simple processes.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cups sugar
- 3 cups oats use old-fashioned oats. If using quick oats, reduce by 1/4 cup
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup peanut butter creamy
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring butter, milk, and sugar to a boil. Stir while boiling for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Quickly stir in the remaining ingredients until combined. Immediately use a cookie scoop to place scoops of dough on prepared baking sheets of waxed paper or aluminum foil. Allow 5-10 minutes to set and cool.
- **It's a good idea to have all the ingredients you stir into the boiled mixture pre-measured so the process is quick and the cookie ‘batter’ comes together properly.
