Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups quick oats
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or wax paper.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and milk.
Stir the mixture continuously until the butter is melted and the ingredients are fully combined.
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and allow it to boil for 1 minute. Stir frequently to avoid burning.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately mix in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth.
Add the quick oats to the saucepan and stir until evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape and flatten slightly with the spoon if desired.
Let the cookies cool and set at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate for 15 minutes for faster setting.
Serve and enjoy your no-bake cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
