No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies are made from simple pantry ingredients right on top of the stove so there is no need to turn on the oven!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3-1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
Instructions
- Measure your peanut butter, vanilla and oats so you have them ready to add when necessary at the end.
- In a large saucepan, add the butter, sugar, milk, cocoa powder and salt. Cook over medium high heat until it reaches a boil, stirring frequently. Let boil for 1 minute
- Reduce the heat and stir in the peanut butter until melted. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and oats, mixing until well combined.
- Let sit five minutes.
- Drop by spoonful’s on to parchment or wax paper, (I use my 2-Tbsp cookie scoop.)
- Let cool on the counter until set. (Usually about 30 minutes – feel free to put in the refrigerator to speed up the cooling process!)
