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!
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup butter , see notes
- ½ cup milk
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups Quick 1 minute oats , see notes
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prep. Line two baking sheets with parchment or wax paper. Set aside.
- Boil sugar and butter. Combine 1 3/4 cup sugar, 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup milk and 1/3 cup 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.
- Add in peanut butter, oats and vanilla. Stir in 3/4 cup peanut butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Add in 2 1/2 cups oats and a pinch of salt. Stir until well coated.
- Drop cookies onto pan and cool. 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.
