📖 Recipe Card
Best No Bake Cookie Recipes: Chocolate Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies (+More Great Treats To Make!)
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup milk
- 2 cups sugar
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 cups quick oats (not old fashioned oats or steel cut oats)
(Note: 2x or 3x only changes the ingredient list)
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, heat the butter, milk, sugar and cocoa powder over medium high heat. Stir often as the butter melts.
- Bring the syrup to a rolling boil, adjusting your temperature as needed to get a good bubbling boil without over flowing while stirring constantly. You need to cook the syrup at a solid rolling boil for one full minute. Set a timer.
- Remove the saucepan from your stove top and stir in the vanilla and peanut butter until smooth and well combined. Then stir in the quick oats until well coated and evenly distributed in the syrup.
- Use a large tablespoon to drop cookie portions in heaping tablespoonful amounts onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet or working surface. Leave about 1 inch between cookies for spreading.
- Allow the cookies to set at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Notes
- It is really important that the syrup reaches a full rolling boil to set the cookies properly.
- Once you have a full rolling boil, it is also really important that you set a time for 1 minute. When the timer goes off, remove from heat.
- These two things will make sure that your cookies set perfectly and they turn out fudgy, not soft-set, or too firm.
