Description
These Chocolate Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies are a quick and easy treat made with rich cocoa, creamy peanut butter, and hearty oats. Perfect for a quick dessert or snack without turning on the oven.
Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups quick oats
Instructions
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until the butter is melted and the mixture begins to boil.
- Once boiling, stop stirring and allow the mixture to boil for 60 seconds exactly.
- Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the oats and stir until well combined.
- Using a medium cookie scoop or spoon, drop mounds of the cookie mixture onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Let the cookies sit at room temperature until fully set, about 20 to 30 minutes.
Notes
- Use quick oats for the best texture and to ensure the cookies hold together properly.
- Be precise with the boiling time—boiling too long or too short can affect how well the cookies set.
- You can store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate for a firmer texture.
- Optional: Add a pinch of salt to balance sweetness if desired.
