No Bake Cookies
Description
The recipe involves boiling a mixture of sugar, milk, butter, and unsweetened cocoa powder for exactly 60 seconds without stirring, which ensures proper cooking and consistency. Once removed from heat, quick oats, peanut butter, and vanilla extract are blended in to form a thick batter. The batter is portioned onto lined baking sheets, then allowed to cool and set at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes without baking.
These no-bake cookies have a soft yet slightly firm texture once set, with the peanut butter and cocoa providing rich and creamy flavors. Their no-bake nature offers a rapid, accessible way to enjoy homemade cookies without an oven. Variations can include adding instant coffee, nuts, or coconut flakes, or topping with candies for visual appeal and taste.
Work quickly when scooping since the batter firms as it cools. Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups granulated sugar (300g)
- ½ cup milk (120ml)
- ½ cup butter 113g, unsalted
- ¼ cup cocoa powder 25g, unsweetened
- 2½ cups quick oats (250g)
- ¾ cup peanut butter 188g, creamy
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa powder and place over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the mixture reaches a boil.
- Allow the mixture to boil for exactly 60 seconds without stirring, then remove from heat. Add the oats, peanut butter, and vanilla. Stir until well combined.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop heaps of the mixture onto parchment paper (about 2 tablespoons each). Let the cookies cool until set, 20 to 30 minutes. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Notes
- Boil the chocolate-sugar mixture for exactly one minute without stirring to achieve the right consistency for setting.
- Scoop the cookie batter quickly as it begins to stiffen upon cooling for uniform, well-shaped cookies.
- Customize cookies by adding ingredients like instant coffee, roasted peanuts, or sweetened coconut flakes, or topping with candies before setting.
