Such an easy and absolutely scrumptious no bake cookie recipe!
Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup milk (I used almond milk.)
- pinch of salt (if your butter is salted, you won't need this)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- ½ cup peanut butter (or other nut butter)*
- 3 cups quick-cooking oats (gluten-free, if needed)**
Instructions
-
Mix sugar, cocoa powder, butter, and milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Allow mixture to come to a boil for 1 minute. Once boiling, stir continuously.
-
Take mixture off heat and add vanilla, salt, peanut butter, and oats. Mix well and drop by spoonfulls on wax paper. Let cool.
-
I like my no bake cookies somewhat dry (not gooey), so I leave them out on wax paper for quite a while. If you like yours dry, don't store in the fridge. I store mine in a tin container for about a week. Don't worry they won't last a week.
Recipe Notes
*Using a natural peanut butter may change the consistency of the cookie. I used JIF.
**Quick-cooking oats give the cookies the best texture. Regular oats work fine, though.
