Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and milk.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally until the butter is fully melted and the mixture starts to boil.
Once the mixture comes to a full boil, let it boil for 1 minute while stirring constantly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract, peanut butter, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the peanut butter is fully melted and incorporated.
Add the quick-cooking 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 a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Allow the cookies to cool and set for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or speed up the process by chilling them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Once set, serve and enjoy your no-bake fudge cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
