These no bake cookies are an easy to make dessert with only a few simple ingredients. Soft, chewy and fudgy with a classic chocolate and peanut butter taste!
Line two baking sheets with parchment or wax paper. Set aside.
Combine the sugar, butter, milk and cocoa powder in a saucepan over medium-heat. Bring to a boil (not simmer). Once it reaches a boil, cook for an additional 1 1/2 minutes and then immediately remove from heat.
Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla. Add in the oats and a pinch of salt. Stir until well coated.
Drop batter by the spoonful onto the lined pan. Let cool until set. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
Oats: While I prefer quick oats, I typically have Old-fashioned oats on hand. All you need to do is pulse them in a blender a few times to break them up to a similar texture of quick oats.Butter: I typically use salted butter. If you use unsalted butter add in 1/4 teaspoon salt. To store: Store at room temperature for 3-4 days or in the fridge for 5-7 days.To freeze: Let set completely, then add to freezer bag or airtight container. Store in freezer for 2-3 months.
