Peanut Butter Chocolate No Bake Cookies
Quick to make and fun to eat! The whole family will love these chewy peanut butter chocolate no bake cookies.
Ingredients
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup butter - salted
- ½ cup milk
- 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups quick-cooking oats can also use rolled oats see notes
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- In a medium sauce pan add the sugar, butter, milk and cocoa powder. Turn the heat on to medium high and stir with a whisk while the butter melts.
- As soon as the pot begins to boil across the top, set a timer for one minute. Cook the mixture for one minute, then remove it from the heat entirely.
- Add the peanut butter, quick cooking oats, and vanilla extract and stir well with a silicone spatula.
- Place two large piece of parchment paper or wax paper on the counter. Use a cookie scoop to drop spoonfuls onto the paper. You can also use a spoon from the table, two scoops for each cookie is about right.
- Allow the cookies to cool for at least 30 minutes, then enjoy. Wait until they are cool to the touch completely before stacking in a container.
Notes
I recommend using quick oats or rolled oats in this recipe.
I don't recommend using steal cut oats in this recipe. Steel cut oats need more liquid and can make the cookies too dry and crumbly.
I don't recommend using instant oats as they won't absorb enough liquid, and their smaller size will make the cookies less chewy.
